Force Smart Labels to show / disable occlusion?

[ademarre]

I am having an issue on a model where at certain rotations the label disappears like the section is occluded. Is there a way to force a Smart Label to show is some way? Either on the section, or outside of the model with a pointer to the section?

Thanks!

I ended up putting 3D labels on the objects in the Model Editor and disabling the smart labels in our application. I didn't see a way to modify the behavior of the smart labels, being able to force them to always show might be a useful feature.

Hi Aaron
What version are you using?
Good point. We will add this in v5.0 hopefully in the next update
There is no way currently to force visibility of a particular label. Try playing with the BoundingObjectScale parameter. See the end of http://www.dynoinsight.com/Help/Geom/Ob ... abels.aspx
Setting the FavorSpeed to false might also help

Thank you

We have added this in today's 5.0.4070 update. IDynamicScreenItemManager_KC has two new methods for that now. C# Smart Labels sample has new check box to see how it works. The SmartLabelsForm.OnHiddenRemoval() makes the call to set the property

Thanks

Thanks for adding this! After digging deeper I did find the BoundingObjectScale parameter and added this as a setting in my application.

I am using 4.0 but have had updating on my todo list for a long time and plan on implementing the latest version in the next major update of our product.
