Hi,

I need to create labels for polygon features. Labels have leader lines and they should be placed outside the polygon border and repeated in certain intervals. I'm using ArcGIS Pro 2.5 and I haven't been able to find a solution how to solve this even though this sound like a very basic mapping task.

According to help documentation here if I want to repeat labels I should use either Boundary placement or Regular placement. With the boundary placement option I can't use leader lines and the label is always placed on the boundary. With the regular placement option I can use leader lines but the labels have to be placed inside the polygon if want to repeat them. So, dead end

Has anyone else struggled with similar issue? Any ideas how could I solve this? Thank you in advance for your help.

Best Regards, Sanna

A bit cowboy but how about duplicating the layer?
