Move a polygon label point of an ArcCAD layer

Summary

Moving the location of polygon label points is sometimes necessary when adding additional polygons within existing polygons or splitting polygons. This allows the correct attribute information of the original polygon to be preserved. The polygon where the modified label point resides after the edit, will contain the attribute information associated with the original polygon's label point prior to the edit.

Procedure

1. Display the label points using the LABELMRK command.
   
   

   Code:
   Command: LABELMRK
   Theme name (?/<MYSHAPES>):
   Display using? (Properties/Item/<Symbol>):
   Marker symbol number (0-100) (?/<0>):

   
   
2. Using AutoCAD editing commands, change the location of the label points. In most cases, simply selecting the point's grip and dragging it to the desired location will suffice.
3. Execute the MODFEAT command and select the points that have been modified.
   
   

   Code:
   Command: MODFEAT
   Theme name (?/<MYSHAPES>):
   Select objects: all
   11 found
   Select objects:
   Optional property table (?/<none>):
   8 modified in C:\ArcCAD\MYSHAPES, 3 ignored.

   
   
4. Use BUILD to update topology.

   Output theme (?/<MYSHAPES>):
