Hi,

I need to add a symbology to a feature layer using the labelling properties symbol option (or if there is another way), and I want to customize the symbology as shown in screenshot 2.

Could someone please show me how to create the same symbology using the Arcgis Pro application?

screenshot 1:

Thanks in advance.

I'd do it with the symbology.

  • Go to the symbol's properties and add 4 marker layers:

  • 1st Marker: 
    • use this form:

    • activate symbol property connections and map the "Text string" variable to your text field

    • set font attributes
  • 2nd marker: set color to white, set size
  • 3rd marker: switch to square, set color to green, rotate by 45°, set size (size of second marker + 2 )
  • 4th marker: switch to line, set "Shape line symbol" to "Single stroke"

  • all markers: set "Offset Y" (4th marker to half of the others), uncheck "Angle to line", set "Placement" to something appropriate (I chose "At measured units" with an interval of 100m)
