CreateBoxLabel Method

Description

Creates a Label item, which has a line pointing to a labelled location.

Label text is similar to box text as it is created in real world units and when printed maintains its actual proportions to the surrounding graphics.

This method respects the axes angle setting. This means that the x, y and z values are interpreted within the aces and all new items created will align to the axes angle.
