All options for labels are directly applied on the labels inside the document. This object can no longer be created (refer to [Measure objects](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-measureobjectsgeneralities) ).

**Characteristics:**

- **Label size**: Define the visible row/column of a label

| Label size | Behavior | Example with a deviation label |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Minimum** | Only the label number is displayed | Only the label number is displayed |
| **Small** | Only the most important information is displayed | Same than **Minimum** Additionally, the **Deviation** column is displayed |
| **Medium** | Main information is displayed | Same than **Small** Additionally, **Reference** and **Measure** column are displayed |
| **Long** | All information is displayed | Same than **Medium** Additionally, **Tolerance Min, Tolerance Max** and **Note** columns are displayed |

- **Authorize overlap**: if checked, labels size is always the same. Else if there are too many labels on the screen, the size is automatically reduced in order to avoid label overlap.

---

**Background mode**

- **No background**
- **Specific color**
- **According to the tolerance** (green if inside tolerance or red if outside tolerance)

---

**Appearance**

- **Background color**: color of the label background
- **Transparency**: to be able to view under the label

**Texts** options**:**

- **Font color**: to set the color of the font, the frame, and the point.
- **Number of decimals**: to set the number of digits after the comma in all labels, in classic notation. See warning below for explanation
- **Engineering notation**: if enabled, values like 0.00001 are replaced by 1e-05 and 10000 by 1e+05.

> [!WARNING]
> ### Notes
> 
> In engineering notation, all numbers are considered as decimals. A specific rule is applied to the digit '0' at the end: the '0' of the truncated number are removed.
> 
> This means that the number 10240.123456 will be:

| Truncated number | with 2 decimals | with 3 decimals | with 4 decimals |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| classic notation | 10240.12 | 10240.123 | 10240.1234 |
| engineering notation | 1e+04 | 1.02e+04 | 1.024e+04 |
