Hello all,
I find myself constantly tweaking my wire labels so that they look like they are exactly vertically centered on the wire, rather than a couple pixels higher or lower. They are not always created that way, and of course when you move the wire around they don't stay that way like I wish they would.
I'd like to propose an option to have LabVIEW automatically force wire labels to stay vertically centered on the wire (similar to other "snap-to" label positionings). I know that other programmers prefer other positions, such as immediately above the wire, therefore having it snap to that position would be another option. I'm not sure if it makes more sense to select one position that it always snaps to, or have it snap to one of a few options (like labels on controls do now). I always use them consistently in the one vertical position, myself.
It may make sense to have the default be free-positioning as it stands today, but it would save me a non-trivial amount of time to have the option for it to be always enforced to what I think looks nice.
Hopefully I'm not the only one!
