# Place the Labels

Labels control where section weights, section notes, coefficients, and piece totals appear in the PDF report.

Label behavior depends on the project import method:

* **Excel projects** use labels placed over the uploaded report image.
* **DXF projects** use labels generated from the processed geometry and can store manual label offsets for each piece.

## Excel label placement

After importing Excel data and adding a [report image](/en/using-pesipiuma/create-a-report/upload-an-image.md), the editor shows the image in the center preview.

1. Select the size you want to inspect.
2. Drag section labels to the matching piece areas.
3. Drag the piece total label to the position where the total piece weight should appear.
4. Double-click a piece total label to open the spacing slider for the section labels of that piece.
5. Use the zoom controls when you need more precision.

Label positions are saved as you edit them.

{% hint style="info" %}
Excel label positions are global because the same report image is reused for every size.
{% endhint %}

## DXF label placement

DXF projects generate labels from the processed geometry. To adjust them:

1. Select a size.
2. Select a piece to open its SVG preview.
3. Move the section labels directly in the preview.
4. Use **Apply labels position to all sizes** when the same label offset should be reused across graded sizes.
5. Use **Reset labels** to return the selected piece labels to their generated positions.

{% hint style="warning" %}
DXF label positions are stored as geometry offsets. If you recalculate the project from updated DXF/RUL files, review label positions before generating the report.
{% endhint %}

## Label content

Generated labels can include:

* Section number.
* Section weight.
* Section note.
* Section coefficient when it differs from the piece coefficient.
* Piece name and total piece weight.

The final PDF uses the latest saved label positions and editor data.
