Hello David,

I believe that I have found a glitch. I cannot position the label past the end of the cable that it pertains to; when the cable is perfectly horizontal at either end.

For example: In the PDF I attached
If I am to create a simple straight line cable (from Left to Right) with a label at the start and at the end (labels illustrated in black; location of where I would like the lables to be are illustrated in red text) as in the PDF.
I cannot position the Black label on the right where the Red text on the right is, nor can I position the Black label on the left where the Red text on the left is. However if I can accomplish moving the Black label on the right to where the red label on the left is.

thanks,

Eris,

You can still position the labels anywhere you want. This functionality has not changed at all.

What did change was the automatic alignment of the labels.

For example, if a cable is drawn from left to right, the alignment of the start label is left aligned and the end label is right aligned.

If a cable is drawn from right to left, the alignment of the start label is right aligned and the end label is left aligned.

This was a real problem before because the labels were aligned so that the start label was ALWAYS left aligned and the end label was ALWAYS right aligned and you had to edit the properties of these label alignments for every cable drawn this way.

Of course, if a cable has a "C" shape - where it connected an Input to an Input or an Output to an Output then you would ALWAYS have to change one of the alignment properties.

Now, with automatic alignment, Stardraw will correctly align the label depending upon the direction of the first and last segments of the cable.

Are you saying that you want the alignment of the labels to be different? Could you explain why this is needed?

The Update on February 8th has dramatically changed the ways that I can position the cable labels within a drawing (I can no longer place the labels away from the cables!), as well as removed the option for near, far or center positioning. This upgrade has left me at a stand still on some of my drawings and completely impeded my ability to label cables the way I please. I do not understand the purpose of this upgrade at all. It has not added any new feature, instead it has only restricted existing ones.
I really need the ability to place labels where I freely will them to be.
