 Hi,

(finally found the time/motivation to redo this question)

Wondering if there is a way to label features horizontal relative to the
page with an offset from the feature and callout lines.

Callout lines are simple enough, as is setting labels a certain distance
from the feature. However, this only seems possible when using the
Placement General Settings option "parallel" or "curved".

When I switch to "horizontal", the "distance" option for offsetting the
label disappears, seen in the screen shots below.

Maybe there's a way with the geometry generator or something to accomplish
this? I haven't found an option to set the label orientation explicitly
besides using the move and rotate labels tools.

This is all on 3.22.

Thanks for any suggestions

Hugh
