Introduction

Jump labels create a jump target for jumps within the current section.

Jump labels are represented as text with a colon at the end.

The text is limited to 32 characters and must be unique across the entire section. The text must conform to general naming conventions.

Jump labels can only be placed between the first two grid points on the left edge of the section.

NOTE: Jump labels may not "dissect" networks, i.e. an assumed line from the jump label to the right edge of the section may not be crossed by any object. This also applies to the connections.

To find a specific jump label use the Go to dialog box.

Selecting the jump label

You have the following options to select jump labels:

  • Use the Edit > New > Jump Label menu command.

    or

  • Choose the symbol.

The active placement mode for jump labels is indicated by the cursor symbol.

Note

In the Tools > Options dialog box, in the Data and Languages tab, if the Automatically affect a variable on a new graphical object checkbox is activated, its properties dialog box is automatically opened when an object is placed. The procedure explained here is valid for deactivated checkboxes.
