Hi. I would like to add myself to this discussion, however I am not sure if I am not late.
I attached a simple file to show what possibility I would like to have.
Many thanks for posting this idea. Whilst it is good to add such suggestions, what would help its cause is by outlining the benefit this offers the designer in delivering a project. Are you looking at the label as a feature that is included in images that are then captured and included in a report, or validation of the relative positioning of the nodes, or some other process that improves delivering a project? With regard to the idea of moving overlapping labels, this is challenge that might not be obvious, but something to think about. The model and objects being referenced exist in a 3D space which is displayed in a 2D view by collapsing the model view into a display view. That means what might appear as a point is in fact an infinitely long line. The label location is at a specific position on that line. That means when the model is rotated, the label remains in a relative position to the model. However, if the label is moved, this will be to a new position in the 2D view and determining where this is in 3D space becomes indeterminate. Some logic could be determined, but I suspect that the effect could be that the labels are moved and a rotation of the model will result in them being located in vastly obscure locations resulting in a lower satisfaction.
I would also like it if, after entering "Node to Node Distance", I could move this dimension to the selected position so that it does not overlap with other information such as "Beam Number" or "Sections".
There should be a measure tool in which even if we measure inclined distance, it should show inclined distance as well as all 3 coordinate distances.
