( 4 ) This button will reset the label to the default value to show Section Size, Network Name and Invert Level.
Code details:
-  { Must start with left curly bracket  
-  Followed by 2 Letters then one digit to be used to define the  decimal digits if it is a number or to change the text case ( 0=lowercase, 1=UPPER, 2=No Change.

Example How To Use Customized Labels

In this example the IL is followed by space then the Flow Direction Code {FD0} then a space then the All Invert Levels Code {IM2}


The Codes will be translated to show the real data when style applied to nodes or pipes.

The Code break down is as follows:

{ Must start with left curly bracket

Followed by 2 Code letters  IM  (Invert level Multi)

Then one digit 0 to be used to define the decimal digits if it is a number or to change the text case (0=lowercase, 1=UPPER, 2=No Change}

} Must be closed with right curly bracket

Notes:
The drop down list on the right side will help users to insert the required codes.
The {IM?} Code the only one to fill as many Node Attributes as the number of the connected pipes.
{FD?} Code will be ignored if none of the level codes used, ({IM?} {LL?} or {IL?}
