Adding support of annotation in vector tile packages. This idea is submitted on behalf of one of our important customers.  

 

We know that labels are now supported in vector tile packages, but my client thinks it is not enough for their current work.  For example, when the data comes from AutoCAD, the DWG annotations will be imported as annotation feature class, which are hardly converted to labels stored in feature attribute perfectly .  So , this requirement comes.

It's unfortunate that annotation is not supported in Vector tiles.  It seems to align well with the cartographic nature of vector tile layers as a basemap.

This would be really useful to implement, especially being able to have annotations with labels at the set scale we want. This works suitably with a map service, but vector tiles would be a better/more efficient implementation for text as vectors.

This idea was opened in 2017, it's 2025, any news?
