EDIT A DEVICE LABEL
To change the text and formatting of an existing device label:
1. Right-click the label and select Edit Label from the pop-up menu. Make sure you position the pointer over the label, not the icon, before
right-clicking.
Alternatively, navigate the Object Browser to [project name] > Device Drivers > [device driver name] > Devices. In the right pane, double-
click Local Settings, then click Edit Label. The Edit Label Properties dialog box opens.

2. Change properties of the label as desired. Refer to Edit a Device’s Local Settings for information on specific properties.
3. Click OK. The Edit Label Properties dialog box closes.
REMOVE A DEVICE LABEL
Removing a device label from one icon removes the label from all icons representing that device, whether the icons are on the same map or
different maps. If you change your mind after removing a device label, you can add it back as described in Edit a Device’s Local Settings.
With the desired map loaded, right-click the device label you want to remove and select Remove from the pop-up menu. Make sure you position
the pointer over the label, not the icon, before right-clicking. The device label disappears from the map and “Display the label for this device” is
cleared in the device’s local settings. The icon is unaffected.
TIP: If you want a label to appear on only one instance of a device icon, use a label rather than the device label. Device labels always
appear on every device icon. Refer to Labels for more information.
