MeasureAction Text Symbol

[WilliamKimrey]

Hello all,

Just wondering if it's possible to change the RotatingTextSymbols used by the Measure Action to display distances and areas.

More specifically, I want the text symbol for distances to always be on the line instead of being below the line once the angle is past a certain point.  I also would like the Total Value (wheter it's distance or area) to not be shifted down and right from the final vertex.  I'd love if I was able to put this information in the Center of the Graphic.

Thanks,
Will

Will, did you get a resolution on this?  I have a very similar question.

I'm afraid the symbols used in MeasureAction is not customizable.

However, others have found a way to copy the graphics created by MeasureAction onto their map. You can refer to this forum: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/13902-about-after-using-measure-behavior-the-graph-can-t-stay-in-th... Maybe you can use the same approach and replace the TextSymbol with your own by checking the type of Symbol.
