Allow which labels may or may not overlap a feature

LyonMNGIS — Tue, 27 May 2025 14:08:31 GMT

The current label weight ranking gives us control if labels may be placed over a feature from any other feature class. If a feature weight is 1,000 then the feature blocks other labels from displaying over a feature.

I would like it if labels could be placed from some feature classes but not others. For example I want to allow road shields to be displayed over a city, but I do not want to allow address point labels to appear within the city boundaries.

Figure 1: No labels are displayed over the city. I want the road shields to appear.

Figure 2: Any label can display over a city. I do NOT want to display address numbers within city limits.
