Converting all labels to annotations

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to convert my labels to annotations so that I can fix overlapping labels. However, not all the labels have converted (I'm missing some 20 annotations).

I selected "Convert unplaced labels to unplaced annotation" during the Geoprocess but that didn't seem to change anything.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance,

Jonah

I tested the issue with the same exact settings, but I am not able to replicate the issue. I assume that you are using the latest version of arcgis pro.

I used the Template Data.gdb and used the States feature class which is a polygon layer. This geodatabase is available once you have installed arcgis desktop, located in C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.6\TemplateData. Try using this geodatabase as a test sample. You would need to copy it over to another location

Can you try to reproduce the issue with a different feature class? Maybe it can be an issue with the feature class.

If it is possible to share a small sample of the data with just the field to be used for labelling.

I would also suggest trying and exporting the feature class in a new geodatabase and give it a go.

Jonah,

Thanks for sharing the information. You are referring to this Convert Labels To Annotation—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop

It will be great if you could share a screenshot for all the parameters that you have set while executing the tool. I will try to replicate the issue at my end and hopefully we can narrow the down issue.
