Display airport signs in 2D

Aviation Airports ライセンスで利用できます。

Label classes may be created to display airport sign labels and symbols. Labels are useful on their own, but they can also be used for developing airport sign annotation. This is done by first setting up and refining label classes for the front and back of AirportSign features, then converting those labels to feature-linked annotation. Setting up and rendering label classes is an initialization workflow that allows interactive modification of parameters to create the desired size and default label position of AirportSign features before they are committed to annotation.

You may use labeling while creating and editing AirportSign features during initial creation of your airport sign point data.

Once the data is initialized, the labels can be converted to feature-linked annotation. All subsequent airport sign editing will be reflected in its feature-linked annotation, and the label classes will no longer need to be rendered.

Set up the map and AirportSign layer

The Airports Product Data package, available on My Esri, includes an AirportSign layer file found under the Layers directory <data package install directory>\ArcGIS Aviation Airports\Product Files\ <version number>\Layers\ AirportSign_frontBack_labels.lyrx. You may add this layer file to a map and resource it to your AirportSign feature class to avoid manually setting up the layer and label classes.

The following steps will allow you to set up label classes for an ArcGIS Aviation Airports 18B AirportSign layer:

1. In the Contents pane, right-click the name of the map that you want to use and click Properties.
2. On the General tab, click the Reference Scale drop-down arrow, and set the reference scale for the AirportSign labels and annotation.

   For example, you can set the scale to 1:1000.

3. [OK] をクリックします。
4. In the Contents pane tree view, right-click the map's name and click Labeling > Use Maplex Label Engine.
5. Add the AirportSign feature class to the map, from the Airfield feature dataset in Airports 18B geodatabase.
6. In the Contents pane, click AirportSign to highlight the layer.
7. On the Appearance tab, click Symbology.

   The Symbology - AirportSign pane appears.

   

8. Optionally click the Primary symbology drop-down arrow, and choose a symbol that indicates the direction to which it points, with respect to north.
