Note:
Currently, the supplied functionality within the task *Arrange_Labels operates correctly with a label template type of TXTM. If an SYTM is utilized, the labels may not be positioned and orientated as expected. The limitation is due to the fact that an SYTM can have an origin at any point within its configuration and hence is indeterminable, unlike a TXTM origin.
