QUESTION

There is text underneath all the views that I've sent to my layout that indicates the floor or camera names. How do I turn off the display of these layout box labels?

ANSWER

Layout box labels display basic information about the original view in the plan. For example, a floor plan view sent to a layout from Floor 1 may have an automatic label that says “1st Floor”. A camera view sent to a layout may have a label that states the camera’s name. Layout box labels have their own edit handles and can be customized to include text as well as Object Specific Text Macros.
