Prevent leader lines from crossing?

[RandyMcGregor_BMcD]

Is it possible to 'tell' the ArcPro label engine to never cross leader lines?

Thank you,

Hi Randy - there's an ArcGIS Idea here where customers and Esri staff have exchanged messages regarding this item.  I'd recommend adding your kudo to this idea so it gets more visibility with the ArcGIS Pro Dev Team and in addition, you may add your comments to that thread so others may respond as well.

Will do. Thank you,

Hi Robert, this idea was closed by an ESRI member in 2021 but it seems the line-crossing behavior is still experienced by many that are repsonding in that thread.

Is there a way to re-open this idea so we can give it kudos and bump up the issue? It would be nice if we each did not have to send support a ticket, which is not communicated back to others, and instead someone from ESRI could respond there with a conclusion about if this is an ongoing bug, or if this is not actually functional as intended, or if it was never was actually implemented, etc?

Hi Calvin - I don't have a way to reopen that Ideas thread.  Ideally the best way to address this item is to contact Esri Support Services (I'm on the Esri Training Services team myself) but I understand what you mean that by opening a ticket, others experiencing the same thing do not see the outcome.  One idea comes to mind - you could create a new idea that references the old idea certainly so members can upvote it.  Not ideal I know.

@KoryKramer - would one of your team members be able to respond this thread?  Please advise.
