Polygon label appear only inside hole

RichardHughes2 — Fri, 31 Mar 2017 17:36:08 GMT

Hi,

The label for a polygon I just created in only appearing inside a hole in that polygon. The label is set to avoid holes in polygon, and the label is set to only draw inside polygon.

Is there a setting that I am missing? Surely it's not a bug?

A screenshot of how the feature is being labelled, along with your placement properties would go a long way towards helping you solve this.

What happens if you turn on Maplex label Engine? Label with the Maplex Label Engine—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop

Could you attach screenshots?

These are some screenshots showing the issue in ArcPro. Thank you for taking interest. In all likelihood the issue is caused by the CAD data from which this GIS data was created. Possibly because the vertices are out of order. Just a guess though.

Thank you for the details.

There could be a geometry issue. Try repairing the geometry.

As a resolution to this thread, I performed a Repair Geometry on the layer in ArcPro. This image shows that there was an issue with the ordering of polygon rings. The label now appears correctly.
