For example, you have a StreetMap North American that ESRI provided with the package or you buy them. So here I have all of the layers that was saved to Group layers.

They set up the labels for the Major Roads and in the Labels section under the Layer Properties. They have all kinds of classes they put in to it.

My question to you HOW do you carry it over when you clipped it with a shapefile of a specific area you are clipping.

The reason I am asking for this is because it is a tedious way for the Specialist to set up once you clipped it and when you turn it on the Labels classes.. You would Have to open up the Label classes from the original Layer to match the clipped Label classes. You would have to do manual to be able to do this method

Here is the example of what I am talking about :

Hi Robert,

Try the following:

1.  Customize > Toolbars > Labeling

2.  Open the Label Manager

3.  Right-click on the 'Default' labeling under the layer you wish to copy > Copy Parameters

4.  Right-click on 'Default' on the clipped layer > Paste Parameters.

Does this give you what you are looking for?

You can remove duplicates and adjust the conflict detection in the Label Manager.  You may need to enable Maplex Label Engine to get the placement you are looking for.

Yes, I am using it as a Maplex Label Engine.
