Symbol Labels with Element Information
Symbol Labels can display all kinds of element information on the drawing, for example the skins of a composite Wall.
Symbol Labels are GDL objects. Along with Text/Autotext Labels, they are available from the Label Tool pop-up and Label Tool Settings.
The following are the standard Symbol Labels available in the default library set.

Not every label can be placed on every element type. For example, if you inadvertently attach a Door Window Stamp to a Column, a “placeholder” text will inform you of the mistake.
For more details, see Custom Settings for Symbol Labels.
You can also create your own Label by saving 2D drawing elements, including Autotext.
