Aligning Annotations

DnyaneshDeshpande

I have a series of 8 annotations on an annotation layer. I want to be able to select all the annotations on that layer and then align them so they overlap and are on top of each other. Is there a way to do this other than select them individually and manually move them on top of each other?

@MarcelSt-Germain Allowing alignment based on the grid's rotation as well as a specified angle are something we'd like to add in the future. Aligning to the map's rotation is a good suggestion as well. Feel free to add an Idea to the Ideas site.

Nice to be able to make alignment in a regular map. Does it a way to do the same when map have a rotation? When selecting my annotations to align them, they move out of alignment . Maybe something like align to Display like in point rotation orientation.

There is an error/warnings in the editor status window, they are:

"This Layer is being projected on the Fly"

and

"This member cannot be found at the location specified"

Are you seeing any errors/warnings for any of the layers in the List By Editing tab of the Contents pane?

How about in the Editing Status window? https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/view-layer-permissions-for-editing.htm

Thanks for the suggestion! I looked and they were set to Center in the HorizontalAlignment filed. I changed them to left but the alignment options still don't seem to be having any effect at all on the annotations. Still puzzled by what is stopping them from moving in this situation. Does it matter that these are in different feature classes?

Robert LeClair

I think what "may" be happening is your HorizontalAlignment attribute field is set to something other than "Left." Select the annotations is question and change the HorizontalField attribute to Left for all the features and then use Scott's workflow. I should work as expected based upon my testing.

Here is an example, I want to align all the Castledown Road annotations so they are on top of each other. You can also see the layer structure where there are multiple annotations in a single layer

Thanks I did try that at one point but the commands don't affect my annotations. They are annotations not linked to a feature class. I'm not sure if this works on this type of annotation or not, maybe I have something not correctly configured?

use the Align and Distribute commands that appear when you right-click on the map when the Move tool is open. More info here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/align-or-distribute-features.htm

Modify features pane > Move
Select the features
Right-click on the map and choose the appropriate command.

Does that help?
