I have tried to do some extensive searching and cannot seem to find any resources on this topic so I assume it cannot be done or its so easy no one talks about it. I have Arc Gis Desktop 10 and I am trying to create a map that for symbols it will use sequential numbers, so Data Point 1 will have a symbol of circle with a 1 inside of it and so on (I have seen examples on Esri site). I do not have a lot of experience with the software but I am able to basically figure out the basics.
In addition, but less important, I would like to then take those numbered symbols and create a legend for my layout, so circle 1 translates to data point one in the legend.
Glad to hear we could help out. If you could, mark one of my responses as "Answered" so that other uses can view this thread knowing that the original inquiry was answered.
