When using the Standard Label Engine, you can force the placement of all the labels belonging to a given label class on the map with the Place overlapping labels option. When this option is used, a label for each feature in this label class will be placed regardless of whether they overlap each other.
Caution:
You should use this option with caution. Because all labels from the label class are placed, there is no guarantee the labels won't overlap each other.
- Ensure that the Standard Label Engine is enabled.
- Ensure that List By Labeling is the active method of displaying the Contents pane. Click the List By Labeling tab
. - Choose a label class in the Contents pane and click the Labeling tab.
- On the Labeling tab, in the Label Placement group, click Label Placement Properties
. - In the Labeling pane, click Position and click the Conflict resolution tab
. - Check the Place overlapping labels option.
Tip:
To ensure that all labels in a layer or label class are placed on your map, confirm that the layer or label class is at the top of the Label Priority list, has a label weight of High, and has Place overlapping labels checked.
