I want the labels to display in two different sizes, one for each group of entries in the shapefile. How do I do that? As usual, ArcGIS help is spectacularly useless. The file has a field that differentiates the different types of entries. The help says something about features classes, but I can't use the feature class wizard, because it won't recognize the shapefile.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 26 Jan 2016 00:00:51 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/creating-two-groups-of-labels-for-a-shapefile/m-p/214778#M2276 JohnKnouse 2016-01-26T00:00:51Z Re: Creating two groups of labels for a shapefile https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/creating-two-groups-of-labels-for-a-shapefile/m-p/214779#M2277 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I think you're looking for Label Classes: <A href="http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//00s80000000v000000" title="http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//00s80000000v000000">ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)</A> </P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 26 Jan 2016 00:04:20 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/creating-two-groups-of-labels-for-a-shapefile/m-p/214779#M2277 DarrenWiens2 2016-01-26T00:04:20Z Re: Creating two groups of labels for a shapefile https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/creating-two-groups-of-labels-for-a-shapefile/m-p/214780#M2278 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><A href="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/map/working-with-text/displaying-labels-using-label-classes-to-label-fea.htm" title="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/map/working-with-text/displaying-labels-using-label-classes-to-label-fea.htm">Using label classes to label features from the same layer differently—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop</A> and buried further down that thread... for 10.3 if that matters</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 26 Jan 2016 00:09:25 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/creating-two-groups-of-labels-for-a-shapefile/m-p/214780#M2278 DanPatterson_Retired 2016-01-26T00:09:25Z Re: Creating two groups of labels for a shapefile https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/creating-two-groups-of-labels-for-a-shapefile/m-p/214781#M2279 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thank you.
