• Labels are created at the current text size specified with the CAD TEXTSIZE system variable.
• The maximum values (first numeric column) indicates the maximum offset to consider for labeling. Points with offsets greater than these values will not be labeled.
• The label offsets distance (second numeric column) indicates the distance for the insertion point of the resulting labels. This may need to be increased or decreased based on the text size used.
• If Delete Previous Geometry is on, it will remove the previous labels for this alignment only.
