Place label in workdesk with specified distance from control point
A label can be placed in the workdesk with a specified distance from an existing control point. In case the label is placed on a cable control point, it can be placed only on the particular cable layer on which the existing control point is located. In case the existing cable control point divides cable layers, the label can only be placed on either of the layers.
If the label is placed on a bundle control point, it can be placed only on the particular bundle segment on which the existing control point is located. The boundaries of the bundle segment are confined by the bundle's start / end control points (i.e. the control points where the bundle starts / ends or divides the bundle and the wire / cable / surface protection / other bundle) or split point (i.e. the control point where the bundle is branched).
In case the label is placed on a ribbon cable control point, it can be placed either on the ribbon cable or its branch if the ribbon cable is branched.
