Hello all,
Yes the option for this is on the Point symbol callout and is named scale. Specifically you'd want the "Width and height" option:
However you'll find it only grows the callout it doesn't shrink it. This is an oversight from how this worked in ArcMap and we'll look into satisfying your case.
Sounds good. We could definitely use scaling down... gotta fit lots of text around those shields. We want to minimize the size not maximize it.
Thanks for posting - I was looking for the same thing.
I would also like the 'Height Only' scale option. @CraigWilliams do you know if there is an existing Idea post about this whole topic?
This doesn't seem to carry over into AGOL Map Viewer. I would love this option there also. Here's my Idea Post: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-ideas/scale-to-fit-marker-text-aka-scale-point-to-fit/id... Give it Kudos if you agree, thanks!
As of ArcGIS Pro version 3.2, the point symbol callouts are now also scaled down (instead of only scaled up) to fit the label text.
