They introduced a <A href="https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/jsapi/labellayer-amd.html">'label layer'</A>‌ (at 3.7) that I have used which optimizes layout, however it does so by selectively removing labels more often than not. When it's critical, I actually publish a service from ArcMap with the labels set as I want and then load the layer as an '<SPAN class="typ" style="color: #000000;">ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer' so that they will appear in the web map. The font is usually not as pretty, but I avoid having labels removed that I need to see.</SPAN></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 10 Sep 2014 20:06:31 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-javascript-maps-sdk-questions/how-to-prevent-the-added-text-symbol-don-t-overlap/m-p/32545#M2620 Anonymous User 2014-09-10T20:06:31Z
