symbology/labeling question

[dsinha]

Hello,

I am trying to recreate a FEMA floodplain map symbology (please see attached screenshot). I am trying to recreate the hexagonal shapes with the text inside. Wondering what they are called and where I would find the settings to add them to the end of the line feature.

Thanks!

Deb.

Add point symbol markers to the line symbology and place it at ends of line. You'll need to play to anchor it correctly.

However there's a good chance that they're using annotation after importing the features from another software like CAD

Thanks for your help! I was able to add the symbol markers but could not figure out how to add the labels inside them. As you mentioned, it is possible that this was done in another software.

You could use text as a symbol marker but I think you'll have a bad time if you need it at different scales.

Otherwise look into feature annotation.

Glad to be of help.
