Not all labels show on the layer

AncaUrsu — Wed, 09 Nov 2016 10:46:34 GMT

Hello!

I have a map with six feature that I would like to label. Labels should show the dates when events happened at every specific location - my features. I have set everything in the Layer Properties - Labels. For one specific feature I have nine dates, which should then be 9 labels. Yet, I can only visualize 3 of them and I can only see the remaining 5 as unplaced. If I reduce the font from Arial 9 to Arial 7, I can visualize 4 labels out of 9. Can anyone explain 1) why am I not able to display all labels, 2) how to display them all?

Thanks!

are you using the Maplex labelling engine to offset labels

I assume then, that it is the limitations of the marker style that you have chosen, and you haven't explored others.

Are you using Maplex in the screenshot?

There is a max number of lines setting in the Maplex stacking options. Check that because it defaults to 3.

I think that active Place overlapping labels on may be useful for you.

But you need to make offset for good visualization (As Dan Patterson) .
