The text shown within an asset symbol and displaying information about the asset that is stored in the corresponding record. Asset text is stored on the asset text layer. For each asset type, the ARCHIBUS Asset Types table defines such asset text properties as size, justification, position, whether the asset text is displayed in a box, and so forth. Although the ARCHIBUS Asset Types table stores the default asset text conventions for each type of asset, once created, each asset symbol stores the settings controlling its particular asset text. You can move and place asset text using the AutoCAD grip edit and move commands. You can set asset text height using the Asset Text/Set Height command.
