This command is used to move Elevation, Grade, Station (Section 2.2.5), Curved Track (Section 2.1.2), Bezier, Cornu, Helix (Section 2.1.5) and Structure or Turnout (Section 2.7) Labels.
The Move Description command can be invoked using the Change>Move Description menu item or the Move Description button.
Click the Move Description button to activate the Move Description command. As the cursor passes close to an object that can display a label it will be highlighted. A dark blue indicates a label that has "Show Description" set on, a light blue set off.
Use Left+Drag to move the label to a new position and unhide if hidden. Once moved, the label becomes fixed in a position relative to the object. Subsequent moves of that object will cause the label to move as well.
This operation can also be invoked by Ctrl+Left+Drag when in Select command (Section 2.2.16).
The letter "h", can be used to hide display of individual Curved Track, Bezier Track, Cornu, Helix or Turnout Labels. The letter"s will show a hidden description. There is a Context Menu Show/Hide Toggle as well.
Note - existing defined elevation labels can be moved, but controlling thier visbility is done with the Section 2.2.5 command.
