<div class="PlainText">For labeling in publication images, we generally recommend using the 2D labels and arrows which do not have a Z coordinate (instead of the interactive labels that do exist in 3D). My guess is that the "move labels" mouse mode is more
often used with 2D labels and arrows than the "3D" labels.<br>

> Sorry, I don't think there is a way to move the 3D labels in Z (closer/farther) with the mouse. To use the "move labels" mouse mode, you would need to turn the whole view and move the label in X/Y instead. Another possibility is to use the "offset" option
of the "label" command, see:<br>

>> I have a problem with moving 3D labels. I would like to move them in the z-axis, but I cannot find how to do it. My version is 1.2.5. In some earlier release it could be done with the right mouse button + ctrl, but it seems to be changed. I have also tried
to find a solution in archive messages, but the hint to click favourites and preferences also appears to be no longer an issue. Under favourites, there are no preferences or mouse settings. I would be extremely grateful for any suggestions.<br>
