Verify Plant Labels

 

The Verify Plant Labels function is a powerful tool to verify the accuracy of the plant labels and to update labels after changes to the drawing.

 

 

After selecting the button, the system will highlight any labeling or data errors, and notify you of what it has highlighted. It will first scan the drawing for any plants that are not in the database for the current project, meaning they would be unable to show up on the Schedule. If any of these plants are found, it will highlight them in Magenta, allowing you to use the View/Edit Plant button to rectify the problem. If all plants are in the database, it will then verify the labeling in the plan. Note that if no plants are labeled, it will not highlight anything. Likewise, if you have not labeled any trees or ground covers, it will assume this was your intention, and it will not highlight them as unlabeled. If a single tree or ground cover is labeled, it will then highlight any unlabeled ones as necessary. The only other type of labeling error is when more than one label is pointing to the same plant, in which case that will be highlighted in Yellow.

 

Before selecting Verify Plant Labels with some unlabeled plants, and some plants labeled more than once.

 

 

After selecting Verify Update Plant Labels, the unlabeled and/or plants labeled more than once will be highlighted with a thick line of the color as indicated.

F Remember:

§

There is no need to erase or turn off the highlight layer that is around the incorrectly labeled plants. If some of the plants are unlabeled or labeled more than once, make the required corrections and select Verify Plant Labels again. If all of the corrections are accurate, all of the highlighted areas will be gone.

§	In order to highlight the unlabeled plants the AutoCAD line weight is changed to Show Lineweight. After using the Verify Plant Labels function you may want to turn off the AutoCAD LWT command. Click the LWT button on the command bar icon.

 

The Verify Plant Labels function automatically makes updates to the plant labels as necessary to reflect changes made in the drawing. If the user needs to delete some plants that have already been labeled, select Verify Plant Labels and these changes will be reflected in the labels.

Four plants are deleted after being labeled. Notice that the “COR PUL” label has a quantity of 14.

After selecting Verify Plant Labels, the quantity is changed to 10.
