Displaying multiple label features in one feature class

KatyW

Man I hope I typed out the title of this thread correctly!

I'm trying to display multiple label fields like the one in the first image. The feature class is underground nap in the splice closure layer. I want to show the enc_size and fiberassignments as labels for the underground nap. How do I do this? I tired reading all kinds of resources on labeling and annotation but I'm falling short on understanding how the hell to do this! I provided my MXD in the second image.

Thanks for the help!

Sorry you don't need the space " "

" I want to show the enc_size and fiberassignments as labels for the underground nap."

[fiberassignments] & " " & vbnewline & "Size: " & [enc_size]

remove the parenthesis surrounding the & symbol. Keep in mind that this

will put your text together without a space. Try the following to keep the

text from running together.

& " " &

Based on the info you provided, this expression should work:

[fiberassignments] & vbCrLf & "Size: " & [enc_size]

My expression looks like this:

[ENC_SIZE] "&" [FIBERASSIGNMENTS]

My field spellings are correct and are capitalized in the attribute table.

JohnWarden

Are you constructing your expression using the list of available fields in the box above? Are your field names enclosed in brackets? Are you including the "&" character between each field name?

I keep getting an error message that says "No features found. Could not verify expression"

KatyW

Ooops, my bad...thanks!

In the labels tab open the Expression tab.

Assuming your field doesn't include the text "Size", you'll need to add that as well. The following should be entered into the expression box.

[fiberassignments] & " " & "Size: " & [enc_size]

If you have Maplex label engine you can add special characters within parentheses to force stacking of labels. You can set which characters to force stacking and set visibility of those characters and stacking behavior under the Fitting Strategy tab under the Placement Properties.

Good luck.

Hi Katherine,

Under Layer Properties>Labels>Expression, you can stack labels by using either a python or VB expression.

Python Example

[field1] + "\n" + [field2]

If either of your fields are numeric, you may need to make it like this

str([field1]) + "\n" + str([field2])

the \n is a carriage return string that makes a new line for the second field value.

JohnWarden

Select the Label tab from Layer Properties, click the Expression button, and enter the expression in the Expression box on the lower half of the window. For example, the vbscript expression

[NAME] & vbCrLf& [ADDRESS_1] & vbCrLf& [ADDRESS_2]

Would create a label that looks like this:

Name

Address_1

Address_2

Not sure I understand your question, but if you want to stack the labels you will need to use an expression, such as one of the examples shown here:

You posted this in GeoNet help which is for questions about using GeoNet. You might want to move this to the GIS place or somewhere to get a better response.

The answer to your question is you have to build a label expression. In VB it would look something like this:

[field1] &"/"& [field2]

You would then set the labels to stack and force split using the / character.

ArcGIS Help 10.1

If the link doesn't work, google arcgis stack labels.
