Stack Labels

RhysLlewellyn — Tue, 08 Feb 2022 13:41:09 GMT

I'm using ArcGIS Pro 2.9.1 and trying to create a polygon label that stacks 3 fields on 3 lines.

Using the VBscript and Python languages (& vbCrLf& or + '\n' +), neither of the stacking codes produces more than a 2-line label.

The Stack parameters under the Fitting Strategy option are set to a max of 3 lines, minimum of 1 character and maximum of 24 characters.

Can anyone advise on a fix or workaround for this please?

Thanks

Rhys

try & vbnewline & to make your stack. Do not check stacking in the label properties.

Thanks Sean, but that seems to make no difference at the moment.

can you post a copy of the entire expression you are trying to use?

As follows:

[Sub_Comp] & vbnewline & [Species] & vbnewline & [Area]

also tried the more modern & vbCrLf& code too. Output shown below: initial character ('c' or 'b') should be on a separate line.

I am at a loss. What happens if you change the order of the stacking fields? This is just a guess.

I can't reproduce this with version 2.9.1. Are you able to share a map package with sample data to review all the settings you're using?
