If selected, the Azimuth between points will be displayed. For draped features, TIN points will be included if Tin Points Check Box is turned on in the Plan Window General Options dialog (see TIN points).
Azimuth is formatted according to the Unit Setup dialog Direction setting.  The number of decimals for display can be set in the Decimals field on the Label tab when this item is selected.
BC/EC Labels
Display a BC symbol at the beginning of a curve and an EC symbol at the end of a curve. See Feature Coordinates dialog.
Comments (at feature points)
If selected, comment labels will be displayed at feature points. See Edit - Modify Current Point - Comment.
Comments (Survey)
This label only applies to features which have been imported from the SURVEY/MAP module. It contains the comment field that was typed into the labels column.
