Labels and Static Boxes - Rules of Rendition

There are rules surrounding the rendition of labels when used with Static Boxes:

If a Static Box does not have a label, or if its Margin is set to Inside or Outside, then all renditions are available.
If a Static Box has a label and its Margin is set to Center, then the surface projections are not rendered. If these are set, the box renders with a Border and Inset projection.

Note: Fields that are not applicable to specific object are disabled. The properties can also be set on the Object Properties Grid. Click here for more information.
