Moving Owned Labels and Captions

You can create custom user interfaces by moving front panel control or indicator labels and captions to different positions around the front panel object. You also can move terminal and wire labels on the block diagram. Complete the following steps to move a label or caption around a front panel or block diagram object.

  1. Click the label or caption.
  2. (Optional) Press the spacebar key to disable the preset alignment positions.
Note Note  Labels for wires do not have preset positions. You can move an owned label anywhere along the wire.
  1. Drag the label to the position around the object you want.
  2. (Optional) Lock the label or caption to the front panel or block diagram object.
Note Note  Placing a label or any other object over or partially covering a control or indicator slows down screen updates and can make the control or indicator flicker.
