Usage
Label options are directly accessed from the Label ribbon panel or from the panel extender as indicated below:
Quantity

Centres
A numeric value entered into the Centres text box will override the centres value of the palette option being used in placing the label. The calculation will then be made using this centres value. For further information regarding centres and densities see the Density Reference page.
