Labeling Line Segment Footage
Can you please implement option to add segment labels, so that line does not have to be split into million pieces but instead allow option to label each segment of one given line with the footage.
Your help on this would be greatly appreciated as often times we dont need to break l ine into segments as it contains the same attributes, this is where it would be beneficial not only from graphics prospective but also from database prospective, it would make the attribute table 1000 times smaller and easier to handle.
We are able to do this in AutoCAD using LISP and creating points for every midpoint of the line but that also adds to complexity of the DB and requires separate feature class to be published. I hope this is something you can implement in the near future. Thank you in advance. See below snip from autocad showing example of how it looks.
Couldn't you label using Maplex labeling engine instead of standard labeling engine and set an advanced arcade expression to be a conversion to feet units for display? As a class you could write a arcade expression like so Round($feature['Shape.STLength()']* 3.28083,2)
If the intent is to not label every vertex or segment like in snapshots 1 & 2 then you will need to make the segment into a route and then label accordingly. The only other way is to have multiple classes that would make up routes if you were to go down the route creation path. Labeling dynamic either snapshot 1 or 2 is currently available without making a route. In these snapshots my data is in meters however dynamically I am showing them in feet. Hope this helps?
