Carl has it right. We do a lot of labelling on drillhole mapping and it
is imperative to follow his procedure prior to plotting or labels
usually cover the hole symbol. And yes you would think this would have
been fixed, along with the fun and games of aligning text and symbols
for legends in the workspace

You'd think this "bug" would have been solved long ago. I think it's
been there since version 4?
The way I correct the labelling problem is to:
1) "View Actual Size" in the layout
2) double click on the map frame and change the scale ever so slightly
(say 1cm = 500m to 1cm = 500.01m) - also make sure the "resize
frame" toggle is checked.
3) double click again and change the scale back to your original
All labels are happy now.....

This is a behavior that I have seen in MI for quite some time. The
only "fuzzy", "unofficial" resolution I have found is to take the
following steps:
* Set the Layout Window to "View Actual Size"
* Switch back to the Map Window
* Using the Label Tool, click on any one of the labels on the map. *
Go back to the Layout Window.
For some reason, MI does seem to forget about offset values at some
point. As I mentioned, this is a fuzzy science and if you're printing
to a PDF, you may see offset no matter what.
Hope this helps....

I've got a map with route symbols on it made by creating a layer of
point objects (highway shields in this case) with a label field
containing the route number. When I display them in a map window
with the autolabel feature, they look fine at all scales. However,
when I create a layout window for this map window, particularly if
it's a large scale view, the labels very often seem to wander off
the symbol, sometimes comlpetely off it. The offsets don't seem to
be predictable; some labels are more poorly aligned with their
symbols than others, and the offset directions seem to be random.
Has anyone else expeienced this problem and is there a fix for it?
It happens with MI 7.0, 7.5 and 8.0.
