Example: Label style with one foil for all scale ranges

Tool(s) Label Style

This example shows how to create a label style consisting of a single foil using the Paragraph Text tool. The spacing between the individual lines of text is displayed at the actual value at all reference scales. The attributes in the example Label style with floor area (name, function, floor area and floor area) serve as the basis.

Several lines of text are combined into one item in a paragraph text. The spacing between the lines in paragraph text is always correct, regardless of reference scale.
