Ver 2019 Structure;

I have xref my model into a working drawing. I annotate the beams with Auto and it places the labels off the view port. Is this a setting to control placement of labels.

I also cannot find a way to label elevations. What am I missing?

SELEVANOT command is what you are looking for.

I dont believe there is an auto option for this though.

RE the the Autoplacement of labels I am not aware of a method to control the placement, I ahve never had mine placed outside the viewport.
