idea Map scale dependent point symbology for polygon layer in Developers Ideas https://community.esri.com/t5/developers-ideas/map-scale-dependent-point-symbology-for-polygon/idi-p/922752 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>If polygons in a feature class are rather small, they are hard to see in a web mapping app when the zoom scale is large therefore users of the app cannot find polygon locations to see these small polygons unless they zoom into the area.&nbsp; What if in publishable desktop ArcMap documents, a polygon or line feature class had the option to set the symbology to display as a "point" feature at its centroid that is scale dependent? The user can see the point display and when the user zooms to a user specified scale the symbology switches from point to polygon or line symbology.&nbsp; All this symbology function would be done using a single polygon or line feature class and would remove the need to have multiple feature classes or layers with varying symbology or redundant data (i.e. polygon and point feature class/layer with the same attribute table).&nbsp; This would improve efficiency of SDE databases, map documents and definitely map services. <!-- content transformation source ID: 087E00000004UDT --> </BODY></HTML> Wed, 06 Feb 2013 17:01:36 GMT GlennRussell2 2013-02-06T17:01:36Z Map scale dependent point symbology for polygon layer https://community.esri.com/t5/developers-ideas/map-scale-dependent-point-symbology-for-polygon/idi-p/922752 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>If polygons in a feature class are rather small, they are hard to see in a web mapping app when the zoom scale is large therefore users of the app cannot find polygon locations to see these small polygons unless they zoom into the area.&nbsp; What if in publishable desktop ArcMap documents, a polygon or line feature class had the option to set the symbology to display as a "point" feature at its centroid that is scale dependent?
