Move Point Attributes with Leader
This command allows you to move Carlson point attributes
(including the point number, elevation or description), and to draw
a dynamic leader to the point node. Leaders and arrowheads may be
customized by selecting Options at the command line. The attributes
are always justified left or right depending on which side the
leader starts. If you redraw a point with Draw-Locate Points or
Field-To-Finish, the program will recall the moved attribute
location to redraw the attributes in the same location as long as
the point coordinate is the same.
