Automatically correct overlapping ?

[[Pe...]]

Is there a function to automatically correct overlapping labels to non-overlapping, do not manually adjust

Thanks!!

Hello Peter,

just played around with the labels and it looks like this behavior:

• "untouched" labels evade a dragged label
• labels manually moved to a position stay where they are and can be obstructed by other labels

You can click in the menu on View -> labels -> on element and they will be unobstructed again. In the edit mode of a report page, they will evade all the time except you really try hard to obstruct them. Here you also have buttons to arrange them automatically.

Regards,
Nanno

Thanks Reply
But what I want is an action that can be manipulated using script
in order to automatically handle large amounts of overlapping

Thanks!!

Hi Peter,

when you use this function it is applied to every label. If you want to use this in a script you can simply record the use of the function in the menu.

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import gom

gom.script.cad.set_label_distribution_mode (distribution_mode='element')

But this is also just a click with the mouse, so in my opinion a script is not really necessary, but I don't know about your application of course 🙂

We don't tend to do manual adjustments anymore
If there is a lot of overlap it will be a burden
It is suggested that the software can plan to automatically exclude overlaps when making reports
