Annotation Snapping

Bring back snappable annotation in ArcGIS Pro. The current implementation of Annotation in Pro is terrible.

In ArcMap you can snap annotation features to other geometry. In Pro, you now have to "eyeball" the placement if you add new annotation via editing or decide to move the placed annotation for some reason. Annotation layers tend to persist once they are created and tend to get used in more than one project. Sometimes you just need to add a few annotation features to an existing annotation feature class. Snapping is greatly desired for manually placing annotation. For some reason, ESRI engineers just decided to do away with snappable annotation in Pro for some reason.

Hi Wesley,

It is still possible to snap annotation features to other features.

You can snap both the annotation feature anchor point and the vertices on the annotation baseline while editing.

Our support team can help you if you have any further questions about this.

thanks

Wendy
