Point Label

This feature allows you to label a point using a leader instead of the normal point labels. This feature can only be used with C&G points. The leader will display the point ID and, if Elevation and/or Descriptions are “On”, the elevation and description will be displayed as well.

Prompts

It is suggested that you first plot the points on the screen with the point labels turned off by setting their point label positions to 0 on the Drawing Settings - Point Label Position dialog. Thus only the symbols will be plotted. Next, in the Drawing Settings tab of the CGOptions dialog box: turn on the items you want to be displayed on the leader.

Now choose the Point Label Leader menu item:

Pick start of leader:
Move the cursor to a C&G point and press the left mouse button. Picked C&G Point [3]
To point (Enter to end):
Move the cursor to the end point of the next leader segment and press the left mouse button.  An arrow will be drawn at the first point picked.
To point (Enter to end): When you have picked the end of the last segment of the leader, press <Enter> or the right mouse button.
To point (Enter to end):The point attributes will be placed near the last point picked for the leader.
(You may repeat the previous step as many times as is necessary)
When done press <Enter> when asked to pick the next C&G point, Press Enter
