Dear Mr. Yas NaKayama
The present version of the EverName software works only with the single
table. The reason why it is done this way is mostly user interface problems.
You have 8 different tables with possibly different structures.
In order to label features in each table you have to pick a table field for
the label content for every table. User interface becomes cumbersome and
harder to understand. We are trying to keep it simple, at least for awhile.
There is a work around for this problem. You can merge all 8 tables into one
temporary table that contains all spatial objects and only a single table
field for the label names and may be an optional field for the label sizes.
Than you can use EverName to label that beast. The final result of the label
optimization depends only on the label density and font size, not on the
number of labels. One can easily come up with a single layer/table that has
extremely high object density and no program on Earth will be able to do
anything.
The next version of the EverName cartographic label placement software will
have some support for multiple tables/layers.
