You can label corridor point codes using a code set style or a section label set. When you
use a section label set, which is described in the following procedure, you can include a
corridor points label style in the label set.
When using a label set that contains a corridor points label style, you can stagger the
placement of the labels so they do not overlap each other, as shown in the following
illustration.

To label corridor point codes in section view

using a section label set
Set up a code set style in a drawing that contains a corridor
1. Open an existing drawing that contains a corridor.
2. On the Toolspace Settings tab, expand General
Multipurpose Styles
Code Set Styles.
3. Right-click the Code Set Styles node and click New, or right-click an existing code set style
and click Edit.
4. Use the Codes tab of the Code Set Style dialog box to add the subassembly points to the
code set style.
5. Assign label styles to the point codes you want to label.
Note: Because a label set is going to be applied, these label styles will not be directly used
for the point codes in the section views but assigning styles here does control whether the
points will be labeled (see step 13 below).
6. Change any other settings in the dialog box as needed and click OK.
