We've tried both ways - it really depends I think, but the clip-map route is probably easiest. You will still need to model some layers for the label objects to have dimension etc., but that's pretty easy.

I always use clip maps for labels. With the "embed mxm" option, it works out great.

Hey Brian - what does that actually mean? I haven't used that function.
Thanks

It's awesome! I just discovered it myself.
Basically it inserts another mxm's layers (from your mxm library) into your current mxm.
So you don't have to manually recreate layers from other mxm's.
