Creating Flow Labels

The easiest way to create a flow label is to enable the Snap labels to flow label slots option and create a label in the usual way but over an unoccupied flow label slot, or to drag an existing label onto an unoccupied flow label slot. These methods are described elsewhere.

Another method to create a flow label is to use the Add Flow Label feature. This method is only for flow labels and does not require you to enable the Snap labels to flow label slots option.

To add a flow label

1. Right click on a flow point and choose Add Flow Label from the right-click menu.
2. Choose which side of the connector to add the flow label from the pop-up submenu (above/left or below/right). A label with default text “label” will be created in the slot you chose.
3. Edit the label text as you like and press ESC when done.
