MOVE AN ALARM/EVENT LABEL
You can move an alarm/event label independently of the icon itself.
1. With the desired map loaded, right-click the label you want to move and select Move from the pop-up menu. Make sure you position the
pointer over the label, not the icon, before right-clicking.
2. Move the pointer to the label’s new location. The label follows the pointer as you move it. The icon does not move.
3. When the label is located where you want it, press the left mouse button. The label freezes in place.
SCALE AN ALARM/EVENT LABEL
Changing the size of an alarm/event label does not affect its position. For information on changing a label’s position, refer to Move an Alarm/
Event Label.
1. With the desired map loaded, right-click the alarm/event label you want to resize and select Scale from the pop-up menu. Make sure you
position the pointer over the label, not the icon, before right-clicking.
Figure 255. Changing Label Size
2. Move the pointer away from the label to make the label larger. Move the pointer towards the center of the label to make the label smaller.
3. When the alarm/event label is sized the way you want it, press the left mouse button. The label’s size freezes.
NOTE: You cannot change the orientation of an alarm/event label. Labels are always oriented horizontally.
