Offsetting Text labels for Line features in Map Viewer?

JasonDeAbreu — Tue, 31 Aug 2021 12:10:33 GMT

I'm looking to offset my street name labels (line feature layer) in the new map viewer and I don't see any options to do that. Am I missing something or is that something that needs to be added down the road?

The old viewer gives you the option. Attached files.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Regards,

Jason

Unfortunately, not yet supported in Map Viewer, only Classic.

However, if you publish a Vector Tile Layer, then you'll have much more control over your labels, (above below, on, offset, even contour labels!)

Hey, thanks for the info. I've tried publishing the labels before and the shear amount of them it tends to crash or give me an error. I'll look into it a bit more now that you mention it.

Thanks again

No problem. If the vector tile route works for you, then please mark as a solution for others to benefit 👍
