The prompts here should be fairly self-explanitory. The “Convert Labels to Text” dialog will appear.Once you are satisfied with the annotation, run the MAPLABEL2ANN command (this may be visible on the Ribbon as “Label to Text”).The annotation generated is dynamically sized as you zoom in or out, so you may have to go back and resize it so that it fits the polygons better.Minimize, move, or close the Style Editor palette.When you are satisfied, Close the Style Label dialog.At this point you can adjust the styling, size, content, etc. You should see the labels appear on your map as shown below.Set the text formatting as desired (make sure to choose a color that is visible on your background).Under “Text Content”, choose the appropriate data field.Click “Add Label”, which will expand the dialog.Back in the Style Editor palette, click the “Feature Label” column, the “Style Label” dialog will open.Press Apply and close the Style Polygon dialog.
Click on the Border, then change the color below it to something visible (we chose green), If you leave the color black, you will not be able to see it if you have a black AutoCAD background.Click on the Fill, then click the red “X” above it to delete the fill.You should see two styling objects a border and a fill.Click the button in the style column, which will open the Style Polygon dialog.
“Style” is the second column, and “Feature Label” is the last column.
Right-click on the style indicator and choose Edit Style.You will see your SHP file represented by some sort of default styling indicator.In the Task Pane, select the Display Manager tab.If your AutoCAD Map workspace (Task Pane) is not visible, type in MAPWSPACE and answer ON.It should show up you may have to zoom extents.Drag and drop the ESRI SHP file into your drawing editor.This is much less time than it would take you the old AutoCAD Map way of creating annotation templates, etc.
We believe you should be able to follow these steps, even if it is your first time, and it should not take longer than 5 minutes. This may look complex at first glance, but knowing the steps in advance we are easily able to do this on a small SHP file in less than one minute. What if you need true AutoCAD text or mtext instead of this Map Annotation? You cannot use traditional AutoCAD commands to move, resize, scale, or edit this annotation in any way. The FDO Map annotation are special dynamic entities and not regular AutoCAD text/mtext. If you need to annotate the shape file with any of the attached data then for speed this method wins hands down, period. This method is extremely fast and in most cases a better solution as opposed to using the MAPIMPORT command. SHP (shape) files into your drawing editor. You can also define the display format for the computed attribute.Īfter you insert the block this attribute (text field) will be dynamically updated on any edit of the block reference which changes its geometric properties.In recent versions of AutoCAD Map and Civil 3D, you have the ability to drag and drop ESRI. Such user defined named parameter will be added to the block properties list. You can add more parameters to the properties list (including lookup parameters) with the Parameter function ( BPARAMETER) in the block editor. In the field category select Object > BlockPlaceholder and in the properties list select the requested (watched) geometrical property of the block. In the dynamic block editor (BEDIT) use the "Define attribute" icon (or the ATTDEF command) and in the attribute value definition click on the icon "Insert field". Since AutoCAD 2006 you can use dynamic blocks with attributes containing computed (dynamic) text (content).
