[Qgis-user] labels

[Jake Maier]

I now managed to turn the move and rotate label on, but only to have all
labels disappear when I assign the fields in data defined settings (I guess
because of the initial value of 0). How can I fill the coordinate fields
with the initial values without having to enter all the values manually?
