Description
Why it’s useful:
During plan production, users place the same label repeatedly. Requiring them to navigate the full label tree every time adds unnecessary friction and breaks workflow momentum.
Who benefits:
High‑volume plan production users
CAD technicians placing dozens or hundreds of labels per session
Anyone working with deeply nested label definitions
How it should work:
Civil Labeler reopens focused on the last label used
The label tree auto‑expands to that location
Optional setting to enable or disable this behavior

Yes!
One great example is for cross sections. I may need to add a label of some sort to a driveway - every driveway. If I want to use Civil Labeler for intelligence, it will close every time I change model (see, every section!!) AND when I reopen Civil Labeler, I need to navigate through the entire label tree to the label I was using, reset any overrrides. Every. Single. Section.
Even plans labeling, where I may be going along and I realize I missed something, I need to reopen Civil Labeler and navigate the entire tree, etc.
Incredibly cumbersome and time-wasting.
