Had a bunch of maps to print and every time i slightly moved the map frame , the manual added labels would get displaced. Is there a tool like label to feature? I did convert labels to annotation and was not satisfied with that.&nbsp;</P> Sat, 05 Apr 2025 12:07:28 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/way-to-convert-labels-in-a-map-layout-frame-to-be/m-p/1603035#M94670 GeorgeJonesRIGOV 2025-04-05T12:07:28Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/way-to-convert-labels-in-a-map-layout-frame-to-be/m-p/1603038#M94671 <P>It sounds like what you are describing is having placed labels in the layout view&nbsp; and so when you pan the map in the map frame the labels no-longer represent spatially where they were placed.&nbsp;&nbsp; they now appear to be placed elsewhere?<BR /><BR />To avoid this if placing labels I would place therm within the map frame, or create features in a feature class or create them as annotations.<BR />Converting to annotation should be possible&nbsp; and should make them maintain their spatial reference so long as you select the correct map frame to place them into.<BR /><BR />If you wanted to go a step further you could convert the annotations to points then label dynamically from points, depending on what you need to accomplish and what your work flow is.<BR /><BR />It might be easier to just create a new annotation feature class and manually place the label annotations where you want them.&nbsp;<BR /><BR /></P> Sat, 05 Apr 2025 14:28:46 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/way-to-convert-labels-in-a-map-layout-frame-to-be/m-p/1603038#M94671 JamesHood 2025-04-05T14:28:46Z
