Shapes for custom labels and multilabels can be created using the Import Shape Wizard. The annotation strings can be formatted according to the Attribute Presentation Notation (please refer to Attribute Presentation Notation in Chapter Appendices) in order to present attribute values from the related shape.

Default labels can also be set up for shapes, so that for instance an equipment shape will get a number of pre-defined labels when it is dropped on the drawing. This can be done in the type specific settings in Diagrams Options and can also be overridden in step 3 (Annotation settings) of the Import Shape Wizard in case individual settings are required.

A number of annotation settings are available in Diagrams Options that controls the label shape to be used for annotation as well as the number of annotation labels that should be available for each type of item in Import Shape Wizard. These settings can be found under General Options > Annotation Settings.

Line breaks are supported in the same way for labels as for the Shape Text.
