Element

MoveOffset

Description

Adjust an annotation that contains X and Y offsets.

This tag can be associated with an annotation feature or within a specific graphic element. If at the feature level, MoveOffset will appear to move the feature geometry while dragging with the mouse but will only assign X and Y to attributes.  When the presentation is updated the presentation instructions will use the offsets as defined.

If MoveOffset is applied to the top level inside an InstructionSet then the initial offset value will be pulled from the first graphic element which has a defined xOffset and yOffset. Dragging the mouse will apply to all the graphic elements that have the same offset defined.  If MoveOffset is applied to specific graphic elements (e.g. Symbol, PointInstruction) then an edit gripper will be assigned to the offset location of the graphic element allowing each graphic element to be moved independently.  In the case of multiple offsets the parent annotation feature will need separate attributes for each offset.

Example

<MoveOffset update="symovr" xAttribute="x_dist" yAttribute="y_dist" maxDistance="25"/>
