Hello,

I am having a concern about how to edit a label family to partially underline a label. In the family editor I have created a Label and added 2 fields to it but i only want one of the fields in the label to be underlined. I have tried creating 2 labels with different fields in one single label family but when i select the underline option in the edit properties for a single label both of the labels with different fields are underlined instead of having just one of the labels underlined to partially underline the label i want to represent as a single label in the project.

Would anyone know how i would be able to create a label with 2 fields where only one field would be underlined?

Thanks

Within the Family editor, click on the label that you wish to be underlined and from within the Properties window edit its type.

Within the Type Properties, tick the underline box and then select OK and you are done.

…and don’t forget to duplicate and rename a type (in type properties window – edit type) that you want to be underlined. Otherwise, all labels of the same type will be underlined.

If you have a single label with more than one field (label parameters), any text editing will apply to its all label parameters. In the family editor, you need to use 2 labels, each with a single field to achieve what you need.
