MOVE A LABEL

To move a label to a different location on a particular map:

1. With the desired map loaded, right-click the label you want to move and select Move from the pop-up menu.

2. Move: Drag the label to its new location.

3. When the label is located where you want it, press the left mouse button. If the map has a grid, the label will snap to the nearest grid point.

The label freezes in place.

NOTES:

• A label’s properties apply to all instances of the label. When you edit one instance of a label, it changes all other instances of the

label.

• If you change the script tag for a label, any script that refers to the label will contain an error. To correct the error, update the scripts

so they use the label’s new script tag. Refer to Scripts and Expressions for more information.

NOTE: When you edit a label’s script, make it available in its updated form by saving the server conﬁguration before attempting to run the

script.

NOTE: You cannot move a label directly from one map to another. You must remove the label from the ﬁrst map and place it on the other

map.
