Hi,
In my MapInfo days, I would just create a layer with a big 100%
transparent polygon on the top right corner and then place the North
Arrow on top of this invisible box... This required the creation of a
polygon in the project that reflected the extent of the printed map. If
this does not work, you could also place a transparent label in the
North Arrow box so that other label don't feel the need to invade that
space. You can also force the placement of some labels by moving them.
It helps when the map window and layout windows have the same scale.
The last time I really payed attention to labels, QGIS would basically
lock the label in when a labels was moved to a new position. Not sure
if this is the default now as I see there has been changes to the label
engine.
Just my grain of salt...

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a way for items in a print layout,
a scale bar or north arrow for example, to inform the labeling engine.
Lould I prevent a label from being rendered underneath a north arrow
for example?
I had thought that I had seen this referenced somewhere, but have been
looking around in QGIS and on the internet and haven't found a way to
do this yet.
thanks
Hugh
