Hi Robert, What you are talking about was called Map Annotation in ArcMap.  We've implemented Graphics layers in ArcGIS Pro for that functionality. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/layer-properties/graphics-layers.htm when you're converting labels to annotation you have the choice whether to convert into a geodatabase or a graphics layer. See the topics below for information on converting to a graphics layer https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/text/converting-labels-to-annotation.htm https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/cartography/convert-labels-to-graphics.htm   Wendy   ...

Hi @wayfaringrob  at this point there isn't fine grained control over how the callout attaches to the label.  This would be something good to create a post for over in ArcGIS ideas. Right now you can control the width of the dart and if it is fixed or not.   ... View more

@PeteJordan  here's the second part you requested def FindLabel([TrailName],[Width]):   str_list = []   if [TrailName] not in (None, "<NULL>","<Null>", "", "0"):     str_list.append([TrailName])   if [Width] not in (None, "<NULL>","<Null>", "", "0", " "):     width_str = "<FNT size = '20'><ITA>Width = {}'</ITA>".format("<ITA>" + [Width] + "</ITA>")+"</FNT>"     str_list.append(width_str)      label_str = '\n'.join(str_list)   return(label_str) resulting in a label like this   ...

@AlexZhuk  a workaround for this would be to block out the labels on the main map using a polygon with no colour. to do this: add a graphics layer to the map add a polygon to the map graphics layer matching the extent (do this through activating the map on the layout to make it easier) set it with no colour so it doesn't show set the label weight for the graphics layer to high so labels don't place on top of it in the main map set the visibility range for the graphics layer so it doesn't display at the scale your inset map is at (otherwise you won't have labels in the inset map)   ...

@MarcelSt-Germain  thanks for the update.  I'll close this out for now.  Please let me know if you are still seeing issues. thanks Wendy ... View more

@MarcelSt-Germain  The Maplex team is continually working on how labels are placed around curves and corners.  I see that this post is from a few releases ago.  Are you still seeing issues? thanks Wendy ... View more

Use feature weights to accomplish this workflow. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/text/weight-labels-and-features.htm anything with a weight of 1000 will block labels from placing on top of it ... View more

thanks for the request.  I've made an edit to the Labeling basics topic to add the ctrl + click information Wendy ... View more

Reopening this idea to gather interest (kudos). The request is to have layers weighted differently to different layer labels.  For example - polygon layer A would be a block to point layer C labels, but allow point layer D labels to place on top of it ... View more

@alex_friant  annotation masks are a separate polygon that is created from the annotation feature and then set as a mask on the appearance ribbon.  so this doesn't apply to labels which are dynamic. are you requesting to have layers weighted differently to different layer labels?  so polygon layer A would be a block to point layer C labels, but allow point layer D labels to place on top of it? could you provide a simple example of what you're looking for? ...

@IlkaIllers1  The group layer shows as greyed out as it not a layer type that supports labeling.  To turn off all layers within the group layer, hold ctrl and click a labeling check box.  This works to turn them on or off. thanks Wendy   ... View more
