topic Annotation Leader Coordinates in Data Management Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/annotation-leader-coordinates/m-p/329867#M18816 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hello,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am trying to find a way to read the coordinates of the end of a leader which can be created in ArcGIS 10. In other words, I have created annotation from a polygon feature class where I have a label for each polygon. In an edit session in ArcGIS 10, you can create a dynamic leader that will leave the pointer end in the polygon and will follow your annotation to wherever you place it. The pointer end seems to have a vertex and I want to read the coordinates of that vertex. Is there anyway to do this?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I do understand that if I wanted to add 2 fields to the annotation feature class attribute table, you can calculate the centroid of the label before you move it. This doesn't really work for me because I will be editing annotation as I go and it is best that I read the centroid of the leader vertex afterwards.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Please see attached picture.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Mike</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>[ATTACH=CONFIG]11409[/ATTACH]</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:09:23 GMT MikeMacRae 2012-01-24T21:09:23Z Annotation Leader Coordinates https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/annotation-leader-coordinates/m-p/329867#M18816 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hello,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am trying to find a way to read the coordinates of the end of a leader which can be created in ArcGIS 10.
