Label | Explanation | Data Type |
Input Map | The map that contains the labels to convert to annotation. | Map |
Polygon Index Layer | The polygon layer that contains tile features. | Table View |
Output Geodatabase | The workspace where the output feature classes will be saved. The workspace can be an existing geodatabase or an existing feature dataset. | Workspace; Feature Dataset |
Output Layer | The group layer that will contain the generated annotation. You can use the Save To Layer File tool to write the output group layer to a layer file. | Group Layer |
Annotation Suffix | The suffix that will be added to each new annotation feature class. This suffix will be appended to the name of the source feature class for each new annotation feature class. The reference scale for the annotation will follow this suffix. | String |
Reference Scale Value (Optional) | The scale value that will be used as a reference for the annotation. This is the scale on which all symbol and text sizes in the annotation will be based. | Double |
Reference Scale Field (Optional) | The field in the polygon index layer that will determine the reference scale of the annotation. This is the scale on which all symbol and text sizes in the annotation will be based. | Field |
Tile ID Field (Optional) | A field in the polygon index layer that uniquely identifies the tiled area. These values will populate the TileID field in the annotation feature class attribute table. | Field |
Coordinate System Field (Optional) | A field in the polygon index layer that contains the coordinate system information for each tile. Due to the length required for a field to store coordinate system information, a polygon index layer that contains a coordinate system field must be a geodatabase feature class. | Field |
Map Rotation Field (Optional) | A field in the polygon index layer that contains the angle by which the map will be rotated. | Field |
Create feature-linked annotation
(Optional) | Specifies whether the output annotation feature class will be linked to the features in another feature class.
| Boolean |
Convert unplaced labels to unplaced annotation (Optional) | Specifies whether unplaced annotation will be created from unplaced labels.
| Boolean |
Convert
(Optional) | Specifies whether annotation will be converted for all layers in the map or for a single layer. The single layer must be specified.
| String |
Feature Layer
(Optional) | The layer with the annotation that will be converted when the Convert parameter is set to Single layer. This layer must be in the map. | Feature Layer |
Require symbols to be selected from the symbol table
(Optional) | Specifies whether all text symbol properties can be edited.
| Boolean |
Create annotation when new features are added
(Optional) | Specifies whether annotation will be created when new features are added to the linked feature class if the Create feature-linked annotation parameter is checked.
| Boolean |
Update annotation when feature's shape is modified
(Optional) | Specifies whether the position of annotation will be updated when the shape of the linked feature is modified if the Create feature-linked annotation parameter is checked.
| Boolean |
Convert labels from all layers to a single output feature class
(Optional) | Specifies whether labels will be converted to individual annotation feature classes or to a single annotation feature class. If converting to a single annotation feature class, the annotation cannot be feature-linked.
| Boolean |
Merge similar label classes
(Optional) | Specifies whether similar label classes will be merged if the Convert labels from all layers to a single output feature class parameter is checked.
| Boolean |
