Street Abbreviation

This option is used to set up abbreviations for street types to use in stacker interface files (so they fit on labels). This can be helpful in locations where the street type is typically included with the street name in a single word—abbreviating the street type will then shorten the length of all streets of that type. The abbreviations are applied to addresses during export.

To set up a street abbreviation:

• Select Street Abbreviation from the Address menu to display the Street Abbreviation screen.
• Click the Add icon and complete the following fields.
