Move Elevation Labels

This command moves the selected elevation labels drawn using Label Elevations Along Polyline command with a leader. The purpose is to clean up label overlaps. To move a label, pick any one of the elevation labels text 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 elevation labels are redrawn, the moved locations are retained. The Restore function puts the labels back to their default position. The following graphics show the elevation labels before and after Move Elevation Labels was used to clean up the label overlaps.
