Hi,
Convert to annotation work great but, slow when it parses to maplex engine.
My case is I frequently have to delete annotations and append new values in the database.
Since these point annotations are centres without taking care of the surroundings, my idea is to have an option to make the annotation directly without taking care of other elements in the surroundings.
I think about a checking box label like "Parse without maplex" or "Parse directly".
Doing so in Pro and arcmap save me time and crashes in arcmap.
For now, the only work over I found is to deactivate all my layers except the one I need to update. When I forget to do so, it makes arcmap crash most of the time. I haven't tested in Pro for now.
