Convert Labels to Annotation is Creating Annotations from Incorrect Label Class

ErikBreedon — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 12:52:31 GMT

I have a feature class with two label classes. Label Class 1 has a maximum scale of zoom level 8. Label Class 2 has a minimum scale of zoom level 8. My map is set at exactly zoom level 8. When the map is displayed with Maplex labeling drawing dynamically, Label Class 2 draws. However, when annotations are created, it generates annotations using the Label Class 1. Why is this?

ArcGIS Pro 3.4.2.
Projected coordinate system WKID: 6601

Not sure why but a possible workaround is in the Labeling Class group in the Labeling tab, you can uncheck the box "Label features in this class" for Class 1. Then you can run the Convert Labels to Annotation GP tool to create anno for only the Class 2 labels. I tested it on my ArcGIS Pro 3.4.x and the workflow worked as expected.

In the Map properties, General tab, check on Draw up to and including the maximum scale in scale ranges and see if that helps.
