For anyone that comes across this post: I came up with a bit of a work around. Rather than trying to set the placement in the "Position" tab, I changed that to "Centered in point". I then went into the "Symbol" tab, expanded the position dropdown and changed the x offset.

I have a series of points with label rotation information. When I set the "Rotation Field" value to "None" I can adjust the placement of the label to left, right, top, bottom, etc. However when I set my rotation field, the labels move above the points stay there regardless of what I set my placement to. The only one that does make a different is "Centre on Point", which does as you would expect. Is there some way I can move my rotated labels below the points?

Hi Amir, Thanks so much for replying to my question. I managed to follow you almost to the end, but I got lost at the third last line. I think I'm in the layer tab of the format embedded polygon symbol (see screenshot below), but I can't see anything allowing me to expand marker placement. Do you know what I've done wrong?

I'd like to force my callout labels to all line up so that they stack (i.e. their vertical positions change, but they all have the same horizontal start point / easting / vertical grid / x position). Is this possible?

I am trying to turn off wrapping for my callout labels so they all sit on one line (see screenshot below). I know where this setting is for layout items, and I'm sure I've done this before in a map, but know I can't find the setting for the life of me. Does anyone know how to do it?

Thanks for your message Carson, Our Trimble reseller also told us to try that, but unfortunately it didn't work for us =(

Thanks for your response Brian, I had a look at my WiFi settings and couldn't see anything in there, but couldn't see anything. What ended up helping was going into our Field Maps profile and switching from the Trimble DA2 to "Integrated" and then back to the Trimble. Really strange. I'm not sure if anyone from Esri will review these posts, but I suspect it might be something the Field Maps developers might want to look into...

We have been using a Trimble DA2 with Field Maps on an Android tablet for some time with no major issues, however we have just tried the same setup with iOS (iPhone 8 and 12) and we are having issues where: -If we open the Trimble Mobile Manager the device connects and works fine -If we open Field Maps it connects and works for a few minutes, and then Field Maps starts giving the "GPS device not connected" message The only fix we seem to have been able to find so far, is to open the Field Maps profile settings and switch to integrated, and then back to the Trimble DA2. I've read in some other questions in this forum that there seems to be some issues with Field Maps trying to opening more than one instance of Trimble Mobile Manager, or with it fighting with Mobile Manager for connection. Not sure if this is the cause of it, but the sequence that we open those apps does not seem to make a difference to whether or not the device will stay connected in Field Maps. Is someone able to shed any light on this?

Hi Rhett, Thanks for getting back to me. I was wondering if it might have been a data transfer issue, so I re-copied the geodatabase (not the whole folder, just the one that was giving me the error) and it now seems to be working. So I guess the previous geodatabase folder must have been corrupted somehow? I'd still be curious to know if there is any way of repairing or recovering a geodatabase that is giving these sorts of errors though...

I have been having some sync issues with my offline areas in Field Maps, so I've copied across all of the geodatabases out of the field tablet so that I can manually sync to ArcGIS Online. However when I try to open the biggest of these in ArcGIS Pro, I get an "Underlying DBMS Error" and it refuses to open. Does anyone know of a repair or work around method for this?

Apologies Mehdi, I was pulled onto some other projects and have only just gotten back to this thread! I tried the supplied code, however while I observed the fitting strategy set to "Adjust Columns and Font", and the legend size changes to 40w and 20h, neither the legend size changes, nor do any of the font sizes seem to change. Am I doing something wrong? I am sure this has been uttered many times before on these forums, but does anyone know why on Earth ArcGIS Pro arcpy doesn't have a "fontSize" property?!?!

Thanks for your reply! I had a look at tags, they look much more user-friendly, however I don't think they will allow me to adjust halo settings?

‎05-24-2021

I was thinking something along the lines of the following code might work, but it only seems to affect the halo width, all other properties are unchanged: featurename = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) labelcolumn = str(arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)) aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT") m = aprx.activeMap for lyr in m.listLayers(featurename): lblClass = lyr.listLabelClasses()[0] lblClass.expression = "[" + labelcolumn + "]" # Get the layer's CIM definition l_cim = lyr.getDefinition('V2') # Get first label class lc = l_cim.labelClasses[0] # Set label class symbol properties lc.textSymbol.symbol.color = 'white' lc.textSymbol.symbol.font = 8 lc.textSymbol.symbol.haloColor = 'black' lc.textSymbol.symbol.haloSize = 1 # Set layer's CIM definition lyr.setDefinition(l_cim) # Show labels lyr.showLabels = True

Hello, I am trying to work out if it is possible to create a script for ArcGIS Pro that allows me to turn on labels for a feature, and then lets me control: -colour -font size -halo on / off -halo colour -halo width Ideally the script would have user-defined inputs for all of the above. It seems that this may be possible in ArcMap, but I can't seem to find any discussion for ArcGIS Pro. Can anyone point me to documentation, code samples or a tutorials that might get me started? Cheers

Perfect - thank you!
