<div dir="ltr">An alternative to setting smaller text size codes to 0 (to hide xs labels) is to put the labels in a different scrap to the drawing. I have done this with some success where I wanted more detailed text in large scale maps. I still draw it all in the editor on one th2 file, but just move the labels into a separate scrap. Then I can decide when I define my maps which ones to include the labels in. This works well where some maps use offsets too, as I can include labels in the white space per map depending on where the white space on the survey appears based on different use of offsets on each map.<div><br></div><div>Footleg</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, May 15, 2017 at 6:04 PM Владимир Георгиев via Therion <<a href="mailto:therion@speleo.sk">therion@speleo.sk</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default">There is also a "min-symbol-scale" option in layout, which hides smaller symbols.
