How do I make my own default text symbols

ShaunDillon1 — Thu, 14 Mar 2019 15:23:53 GMT

Especially in Layouts, I have two basic text symbols I use for labels (both Labels drawn from a layer, Annotations and simply added Text) - they are Size 10 Bold and either black text with white halo or white text with black halo. In ArcMap I have saved these styles so they are the first things I have to choose from whenever I get a 'Symbol Selector' box.

How do I get something similar. I cant find a "save As..." anywhere when editing text symbology.

Shaun,

You should get similar functionality in ArcGIS Pro by saving the text symbol to a style. See Save symbols and style items in styles—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop. In particular, look for the section titles "Save a text symbol to a style". Here's another help topic that might be useful as well - Manage styles—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop.

Hope this helps,

Tom
