How to change legend item patch alignment to match text alignment
I have a legend in an ArcGIS Pro (3.1.2) layout with a single layer where the Layer Name, Heading, and Labels are all shown. I would like to center align everything. Itʻs easy enough to change the alignment of the text items, but how do I change the patch alignment as well?!
I need to do about 20-30 times for all the different species I am making occurrence maps for, so converting to graphics and manually adjusting is not really feasible.
Screenshot examples below. First is default / left aligned. Second is with all text change to center aligned, but I need the patches to be center aligned as well and I cannot figure out how to change.
Not exactly what you're looking for but it's close'ish. In the Elements pane for Legend, click Show Properties. In the Type dropdown, choose Vertical. It will look something like this below...
Hi @Robert_LeClair - sorry but this doesn't really help (see below for what it looks like)....I would like it centered on the width of the entire legend patch, which is being dictated by my layer name which is the widest element. It would be very helpful if there was an option for horizontal alignment for patches the same way there is for text elements in a legend. I have resigned myself to converting to graphics and doing it manually for all 20 legends I have to make...
Understand - thx for the response. One thing I've done differently in the image below for center justification is for the Legend Item, expand Indents and change the indent values for Layer Name, Heading and Classes. I did 50 pt and the result is below. Getting closer...
