Label Lat/Long

This command will label the latitude and longitude of a selected point. The program will convert the northing and easting of the input points to latitude and longitude. There is an option to include elevation in the labels. The coordinate system for the drawing coordinates must be defined in Drawing Setup before running this command. First, the program displays a dialog box with options to set the sizes, to set label prefixes, to set the display precision, to draw a box around the label and to change the symbol used to mark the point. When Draw With Leader is active, the program prompts for the point to label and then the label location and draws a leader between these points. When Draw With Leader is off, the specified symbol is drawn at the point and the label is drawn automatically to the size. The Prompt For Label Angle option prompts for the label rotation instead of automatically drawing the label horizontal. For the Use Attribute Block option, the symbol must be a block with three attributes for the latitude, longitude and elevation that the program will place and fill out the attributes instead of creating text labels. After the options dialog, the program prompts for the points to label. As you move the cursor, the program display the latitude/longitude in real-time.
