When using the MicroStation environment, the MicroStation commands Move, Scale, Rotate, Mirror, and Array can be used to move element text labels.

To move an element text label separately from the element, click the element label you wish to move. The grips will appear for the label. Execute the MicroStation command either by typing it at the command prompt, by selecting it from the tool palette, or by selecting it from the right-click menu. Follow the MicroStation prompt, and the label will be moved without the element.
