Strange ArcMap behavior?

JohannesBierer — Tue, 18 Nov 2014 12:02:41 GMT

One layer classified with LRTCODE. I want to change symbols. If I open the propertiers dialog, there's one symbol without classification where should be classified by LRTCODE?

Any ideas, workaround?

Johannes do you not have it currently have it set to single symbol? did you try the next one down?

Dan, thanks the thing. In this Layer the next down is gone 🙂

Sorry it's german, the classification Menufield is called there Kategorie.

The normal view (with five possibilities to choose):

If you compare this with the one in the first post, there's Kategorie missing

In the data view there's the correct legend (First image), but if I open properties to change some colors I get the single symbol ?

Quite funny, but I need to change the map. MxdDoctor?

Johannes...the first thing I would do is try that particular file in a new project to see if all the legend options appear.

the second try would be to remove the layer, save the project, add the layer to a new data frame and try the legend thing

if the second doesn't work, remove again, add to the original data frame and try again (don't just drag it from one frame to another)

If the first doesn't work...it is the file

if the second doesn't work it may be the project

if the third doesn't work it may be that data frame

finally...is that layer really that important ???

Thanks there was a 'unsientific' solution. I build the Layer symbology new, in the geodata slave style.
