To Specify Anchor Points and Attachment Points for Label Style Components

1. In the Label Style Composer dialog box, click the Layout tab.
2. Select a component from the Component Name list.
3. Under General, specify the Anchor Component value for the component.

   The Anchor Component defines what the selected component should be “anchored to” — or positioned relative to—in the label.

   For example, if you are setting up a Direction Arrow component for a direction label, you might want to specify the Bearing as the Anchor Component so that you can position the arrow in relation to the bearing label text.

4. Change the Anchor Point value to specify the location of the anchor point.

   This value specifies precisely where on the Anchor Component you want to place the anchor.

5. Under Text, change the Attachment value to specify the location on the label component that will be attached to the anchor point.
6. Optionally, specify X and Y offsets and a Rotation Angle. For example, you may want to specify X or Y offsets from the anchor point to add some space between the components.
   Tip: Refer to the Label Preview window when editing the label layout properties. This preview dynamically shows the effect of each of these settings.
7. Click OK.
