Hi, I have a state layer with cities and the usual city attributes (name, population, etc.). The attribute table also has a "capital" attribute (Y/blank). If the city is the capital of the state, the capital column has a 'Y', otherwise, it's blank. I would like to display the layer with city names and: * If the city is not the capital, symbolize with a circle * If the city is also the state capital, symbolize with a star This seems rather simple but I tried defining classes of features, using the Symbology tab creatively and checking the internet. I can't figure this out. I would very much welcome all suggestions. Many thanks. \Frances

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Symbolize a city as a circle and a capital as a star

Then just make sure that you set the symbology to unique values and use the table field that differentiates state capital and non-capital

are they point symbols?

If so, then you will have to troll the symbol sets for the appropriate one. using Unique values as the type

Hi, yes, this is a point file.

Dan, thank you so much. I can't believe it was so simple. I was complicating it or overthinking it. Or both. You're the best!
