ArcGIS Desktop part 16 (poster creation part 11; labels vs. anotations) Video Lecture | Way to Learning GIS and ArcGIS - Data & Analytics

hello for exercise number 7c we will
concentrate on the question on how to
create labels interactively and creating
annotations as well so the difference
between a label and an annotation may be
can be summarised to label being yeah
some are organized by arcmap and an
annotation will be organized by itself
so how first up we will open the project
number 17 and we have all layers visible
except theirselves cities you know do
that as well and what we would like to
do now is ask being maybe some kind of
producer of a map for the mexican state
government or Tourism Bureau or
something like that
we will you would like to create a label
for the main cities of the peninsula of
Yucatan which is on somewhere here so
there's city called marina and we would
like to create not an annotation but
label so just click on label now I can
choose every feature you would like so
you can create a label for the year for
this polygon you can create a label for
for the Gulf of Mexico polygons and so
on but what we will do now we will
create a layer for the city Marita there
it is so we will stay with the Witek
with a default value of automatically
find the best placement for that so
there it is now and what we'll do now is
we'll go back to select elements as a
tool what you can do now you can adjust
the position of that label if you have
some kind of errors in visibilities like
now I will stick that over or here near
you can see that these this
State has a name Yucatan there's this
room and this room and in the
surrounding of Marina and what is it
different so you can you can put this
annotation everywhere you like you can
put it above the Yucatan placement and
arcmap if I will now hit the refresh
button will readjust the visibility of
the label you cut on so stay there there
it is now the labels somewhere else you
can just put it here once again there it
is but aux ma wasn't changed due to the
fact that we don't have any
possibilities we have an ordering given
to that a shapefile which says please
put it in the center or in the upper
left or right so if I will stick it here
maybe we have a chance that this label
will be reorganized and it was so it was
put on there on the upper right corner
to make it possible that they label me
reader will be drawn on the map so once
again you will go there say Marie that
will be on the lower upper left corner
of the city so that's it so in a normal
process of a workflow you will stick
with the labels in first case but if you
would like to finish your map afterwards
you would like to or you you should
convert all your labels to so-called
annotations
therefore there's a special function
here so just right-click on the on the
on your label on your layer and there
you find convert labels to annotations
just click it you will store your
annotation because you don't have a
geodatabase for this project in the map
and we have two annotation groups here
in a moment so these are southeastern
states and ruins honor and we would like
to convert unplaced labels to unplaced
annotations so just click on convert
what has changed now in the moment
nothing has changed but let's have a
look you can adjust the position of each
label but what is also possible you can
just do some bad decisions with that so
first case or first part create labels
second part change it to annotations to
make it to make it more customizable and
to adjust the visibility of each label
to the optimum thank you very much for
watching and join the next session which
is a session about querying data or
getting information about features so we
will go into the chapter 8 thank you
very much good bye
