3.5.5 Labeling Streets with Street Spotter
The Street Spotter feature allows you to locate and label important streets and landmarks.
Basic Operation
1. To activate Street Spotter, click on the Street Spotter hot button. The cursor
icon will then change to a small arrow above a two-lane street. You will use this cursor to
perform Street Spotter operations.
2. Right-click on the desired street and its name should appear in the Cursor Status Area.
3. Label the street by left-clicking on it, dragging the line in the direction that you want your
text to appear, and releasing the mouse button where you want the line to end.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for every street you want to label.
5. Erase all the Street Spotter labels by right clicking on the Street Spotter hot button.

you select the Anti-Alias option; in that
case, you must the select the color using the
Setup > Fonts > Street Spotter command.
Anti-aliased fonts eliminate the blocky
appearance of computer fonts.
Dynamic sizing changes the size of Street
Spotter text proportionally to the view’s range when you zoom. This option works for both
anti-aliased and non-anti-aliased fonts.
If you do not select Dynamic Sizing, you must select the font size to use.
For anti-aliased text, you must use the Setup > Fonts > Street Spotter
command to change the font size. For non-anti-aliased text, you can change
the text size by clicking the up and down arrows just below the Dynamic
Sizing checkbox, and view the result in the adjacent sample text viewer.
Text to display lets you enter a message to display instead of a street name. If you select a
street, its name will appear in this textbox when you open the Street Spotter menu.
