We have made some updates to line labeling in the map viewer.
- We have a setting on the label style panel for lines to enable/disable label repeats
- When disabled right now the label is in a fixed centroid position on the line.
- When label repeat is enabled there is a setting to set the interval distance to control the number of repeats
- Setting the overrun on labeling will allow smaller features to display labels that are larger.

Hi @RussRoberts,
I'm running into a problem with labeling polygons. The labels appear perfectly in the centroid of the polygon. Works great if you see the full extent of the polygon. Where the problems begin is when you zoom in. The label no longer moves with the map extent. So now, if I'm not zoomed in to the centroid of the polygon, I do not see the label at all making it virtually pointless.
Is Esri looking to fix this in future releases?
Any you may have to offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Hi @RussRoberts ,
Those are nice new updates but missing really basic possibilities which seems to be very obvious for us to support our work processes with online maps. Now workarounds must be used to achieve these.
Just a few in my opinion:
1. alignment of labels (above, on, under ) line is not available anymore in new map viewer.
2. rotations of labels on line to get perpendicular labels --> a workaround:
- Generate Transects Along Lines
- join new feature class with line feature class and transfer necessary attribute information
- publish transects line and apply simple labeling
- overrun is helpful here because the transect lines can be short and labels will show when zoomed out.
- update/changes in line feature --> work around again
In ArcGIS Pro:
Basic in AGOL:
After workaround:
3. start point (start, middle, end) of a label. this can help if you want to use multiple label classes and apply different style. In my workaround this would give the opportunity to show the X and O and align start and end. But now the labels will overlap.
4. Use of arcade/html tags like color font and font style.
