Problems with overlapping symbols in ArcGIS Pro

Nico9 — Tue, 19 Sep 2023 08:33:54 GMT

Hello,

I have a problem with the display of symbols at stations. Stations are nodes where trains, buses and other means of transport share a stop location.
I have the stops for each mode of transport on a separate layer (unfortunately this has to stay the same), this of course gives me identical stop locations which overlap each other. The symbols overlap as well.
Is there a way to automatically move the symbols so that overlaps no longer occur, but the locations do not have to be moved?

Thanks Nico

Hey DanPatterson,

thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately, this only works for symbols on the same layer. My symbols are on different layers.

Then you have to do the label placement for each layer

Hi,

thanks, but that doesn't help me because they are not labels, but symbols. Or do I not understand something correctly?

That would leave the marker placement of the symbol
