Hi,

Please support using multiple attributes for labels with newline and concatenation capabilities similar to ArcGIS Pro.

Thanks,

Marc

Hi @Marc_Graham,

Thanks for posting this Idea.

For this item, have you considered a LISP approach? For example, you might consider using LISP to select multiple attribute values and then create/relatively position a label for each selection.

For considering a LISP approach here, before incorporating commands, please note that those such as Esri_PickLabel create links between the attributes and the TEXT/MTEXT entities. See additional details here: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-for-autocad/latest/manage/feature-linked-labels.htm

Hi @MichaelDavidsonPM 

Ideally we are after a straight forward approach to making slightly more sophisticated labels that is easy for the end user.

Two common use cases:

  • Road labels where the road name and the road type are stored in separate attributes
  • Property titles where the Parcel ID and Title description are stored in different attributes

Thanks,

Marc
