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. 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.
The Options keyword brings up the settings dialog shown
below. The Restore function prompts to pick a point label
that has been moved and puts this label back to its default
position. The Multiple method moves all of the selected
points instead of one at a time. The Group function selects
the points to move by Point Group Name. The Number function
selects the point to move by point number instead of screen
pick.
