topic How do I label polyline segment lengths? in Mapping Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/how-do-i-label-polyline-segment-lengths/m-p/70566#M839 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi, I have a user who has several polyline features and needs the segment length labeled between each vertex of each feature. I notice Maplex allows placing a single label for multiple line segments (as is common with a street centerline that is split at each intersection). This seems to me to be the opposite case. I thought about using linear referencing but would like to avoid adding m-values to my feature class. Thanks in advance.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 07 Jun 2018 15:56:17 GMT MarcusBrown 2018-06-07T15:56:17Z How do I label polyline segment lengths? https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/how-do-i-label-polyline-segment-lengths/m-p/70566#M839 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi, I have a user who has several polyline features and needs the segment length labeled between each vertex of each feature.

The problem is, our line features are representing continuous segments of fiber optic cable. We ended up instructing the user to create a separate feature in a different feature class for each segment needing labeling. It's not an ideal solution so I'll post here if we find a more elegant solution later.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 13 Jun 2018 13:08:23 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/how-do-i-label-polyline-segment-lengths/m-p/70568#M841 MarcusBrown 2018-06-13T13:08:23Z
