     You can define a point at which the preview is attached to the cross-hairs and lock it.

     1. Click a point in the workspace to position the preview.
     2. Click the reference point in the workspace . This is now the new point at which the preview is attached to the cross-hairs.
3. If you have not touched on a view, you need to identify one now. This is the one into which the bars are transferred.

   Note: This way, you can also transfer marks to different spatial orientations so that a bar reverts to the not placed status, for example.

4. Set the label parameters and place the definition bar label (you can define the text angle in advance), create the manual leader if required
   or
   click Cancel if you wish to skip labeling entirely.
