ID label for wall with base point not on the reference side?

Hi,

I have a "basic label" in AC18 which I want also in 19. However I can't figure out how to get the base point of the label to stick to the side opposite to the wall reference side (see image). The label to the right is what I can make in AC19 and the one to the left is like in 18..

Cheers,
Mats

When you click to place the Label you can click anywhere on the Wall. The click point will be the placement point of the Label and it will be associated to the Wall.
However you can then select the Label and move it wherever you want, it will stay associative.
You can also Flip it, Rotate it, Mirror it, it will stay associative.

Yep, I really like the 19 way of labelling. However I'm after a bulk method for labelling thousands of walls (automatic first and then of course manually moving some). In older versions I could set a negative offset for the label placement so that it seemed to be placed at the opposite reference side but I can't do that in 19. I think we'll manage but I think the negative offset was pretty handy sometimes .
