Replacing All BIM Labels of the Same Type from BIM Drawings

BIM drawings contain automatically and manually placed labels.

If necessary, you can replace a label type used in BIM drawings with another type of label from the Label Library.

The BIMReplaceLabel command displays the BIM Replace Label dialog box, which lets you specify the type of label to replace.

The command works in Model mode and in Sheet mode.

Note: You cannot restore labels that you replaced from all BIM drawings.

To replace all BIM labels of the same type from all BIM drawings generated from a BIM model:

Before starting, make sure you have generated the BIM drawings and you have placed the necessary labels.

  1. In Model mode, type BIMReplaceLabel at the command prompt.

  2. In the BIM Replace Label dialog box, do the following:

    • In Replace label, select the label type to replace.

    • Select the new label to use. You can select any label from the BIM Label Library.

  3. Click OK.

    All labels of the specified type are replaced with the new label type.
