LABELS TUTORIAL

[/\/lg|-|T/\/\@R3]

I'm using land development r2 and I'm having a hard time finding any documentation on the customization of labels. I know how to use the label settings but I would like to find out how to edit the data used for the labels.
The labels that I have now look like this: N 45%%d00'00" W, I would like it to look like this: N45%%d00'00"W. If anyone has a good tutorial site, that would be best.

Thanks in advance.

I could be wrong, but I don't think you will find any tutorial sites on editing LDT label styles. For one, it's an obscure topic, and two, it's fairly self-explanitory along with the HELP files.

Are you just trying to take out the space? Have you been in the Edit Label Styles dialog?

I used the Edit Label Styles dialog to setup the labels that I use now, but the labels don't do exactly what I want them to. To answer your question, yes I am trying to get rid of the spaces. I've looked through the land development book and through the help files and I haven't found the right information I'm looking for.

example:

This is the data I have in the text above box:
{Direction}{Text Break}{lenght}'
Output:

N 45d00'00" W 100.00'
-------------------------------------------------------

Is there any I can add to change the data to look like this:

N45d00'00"W 100.00'
-------------------------------------------------------

The things I need changed are not offered as options in the dialog and I'm having a hard time finding help if there is any like you said.

While in the "Edit Label Styles" dialog, click the "Angular" button. Uncheck the "Allow Text Spaces" toggle.

I feel retarded. I probably looked at that like five times before.

Thanks for the help.
