One area of my map is too busy so I made a detail. To cover up the busy spot on the main map I made a layer from a selection of parcel polygons to cover the area of busyness but the labels show through. What am I doing wrong?</P><P></P><P><IMG class="image-2 jive-image" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/319119_pastedImage_2.png" style="border: 0px; margin: 2px 20px 0px;" /></P><P></P><P></P><P><IMG class="image-3 jive-image" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/319120_pastedImage_3.png" style="border: 0px; margin: 2px 20px 0px;" /></P><P></P><P></P><P><IMG class="image-1 jive-image" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/319118_pastedImage_1.png" style="border: 0px; margin: 2px 20px 0px;" /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 10 Feb 2017 15:18:52 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/labels-show-through-polygon-layer-on-top/m-p/397604#M4348 RickBall 2017-02-10T15:18:52Z Re: Labels show through polygon layer on top. https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/labels-show-through-polygon-layer-on-top/m-p/397605#M4349 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Insert <STRONG>new data frame</STRONG> with bigger scale for the busy area extent. choose best place to put that data frame inside map, and refer for that with extent rectangle.</P><P>put same layers in the new data frame and zoom to get best view.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 10 Feb 2017 15:39:04 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/labels-show-through-polygon-layer-on-top/m-p/397605#M4349 AbdullahAnter 2017-02-10T15:39:04Z Re: Labels show through polygon layer on top. https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/labels-show-through-polygon-layer-on-top/m-p/397606#M4350 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>If you want to hide some label of features and let other appeared .</P><P>you could use SQL query.</P><P>just add new field to attribute table, then select all labels that you want to hide and calculate that field with one value&nbsp; for example "h"&nbsp; . so you can use SQL query in label tab of layer properties.</P><P><STRONG><EM>Field Name &lt;&gt; "h"</EM> </STRONG></P><P></P><P><STRONG><IMG class="image-1 jive-image" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/319159_pastedImage_3.png" /></STRONG></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 10 Feb 2017 15:51:19 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/labels-show-through-polygon-layer-on-top/m-p/397606#M4350 AbdullahAnter 2017-02-10T15:51:19Z
