    8. Tip

    The texts of the drainage label are automatically stored in the relevant layer. Drainage parts and their corresponding texts represent one object. Clicking in selection mode element part or with the Alt key held activates only the text. The text settings correspond to the text parameter "circuit" and "chamber". If these text parameter records are not available, the current text parameter settings will be applied.
