This command moves the selected plan view sewer network labels
with the option to draw a leader from the labels to the sewer
network reference location. Both structure and pipe labels can be
moved. The purpose is to clean up label overlaps. To move a label,
pick any one of the text labels and the program will pick up all
the other associated labels. Then pick the new location and while
the pointer is moved, the program shows an outline of the label
area. The program remembers the moved locations for each label so
that when the plan view labels are redrawn, the moved locations are
retained.
At the command prompt, there are keyboard options to show
command Options, change the Angle and to Restore. The Options
function brings up a dialog for command options for when to draw
the label leader and whether to include an arrow head. The Minimum
Leader Length Scaler value is multiplied by the current Horizontal
Scale defined in Drawing Setup to set the minimum distance from the
label to the structure for a leader to be drawn. The Angle function
allows you to rotate the label. The Restore function puts the
labels back to their default position.
For pipe labels, there is an extra option at the command line
when picking the new location to make the label horizontal.
Otherwise the pipe label is aligned with the pipe segment.
These graphics show the sewer labels before and after Move Sewer
Label was used to clean up the label overlaps.
