Points-Dragged State

[Anonymous]

When I drag some point labels the display order of Desc, Elev, UserProp from
top to bottom changes to Elev, desc, User Prop.

Any clues as to why?

... just another solution.

Instead of three text components anchored together, a single multilined text component would also solve the issue.

On second thought that setting does not work because the text will not
justify left/right when you move the label.

Any other thoughts?

The easiest solution is to construct it as one text component and set the drag mode to staked text. This way eliminates dealing with the anchoring of one item to the next and/or in which order they were added to the label.

That is exactly what I did Mark. Thanks again.

I'm at exactly the same stage ! Is there a 'struggle on your own' switch built into every release of C3D ?
For Survey input, I feel that it is more useful to have seperate text items, rather than one composite string, For example survey Control Stations, or Manholes; where some item of the text in a label will ALWAYS be in the way of a feature line, and by clicking through the various grips, DRAG, and TOGGLE SUB-ITEM GRIPS, you can arrange the drawing to be much less confusing

Allen it's the Land Desktop mind set that is killing me. This post is an
example. I'm still thinking I have 3 independent point attributes that I
have little control over when in it's close to the opposite. 😉
