Hi Adrian, You don't need to turn off Maplex to turn off the option.  it is called Never remove (place overlapping) ... View more

Hi Nicholas, This wouldn't be a conflict between the different Maplex labeling styles.  It is probably due to the municipal boundaries layer having a high weight set to it.  Which would also explain why adding it in again would fix the issue as the weight would be reset to 0.  do you have a copy of the old project where you could check the weights? thanks Wendy ...

Hi Shane - it is probably something to do with the ring ordering.  Still trying to get to the bottom of it. A few more questions... What storage type (geometry or geography) are you using in SQL Server? Where did the data come from? was it created in ArcGIS? thanks Wendy ... View more

ohhh - I saw something like this last week... try exporting the data out to a file gdb and run the repair geometry gp tool on it with the OGC validation method. then put it back into sql server. let me know how that goes. thanks Wendy ... View more

Hi Shane, SQL Server 2008/2008R2 are not supported with Pro 2.2.  SQL Server 2016 is though.  Are you seeing the issue on both? The best way to deal with this will be to log a support call so that we can take a look at the data and get a repro case. thanks Wendy ... View more

Hi Scott, there are two ways you can do this.  A temporary way and a more permanent way. the temporary way is using symbol substitution. this change does not edit your data. it only exists for the project. right click on your anno in the contents pane and select Symbology.  this will open the Symbology pane.  In the Symbol Substitution group select the Substitute symbols in collection radio button and double click on the symbol.  Change the symbol as you wish from here. the more permanent way is to edit the symbol in the annotation feature class. In the catalog pane browse to your annotation feature class. right click on it and select Annotation feature class properties.  This opens up the Annotation Feature Class Properties pane. If you have feature linked annotation and want the symbol change to be reflected in updates you need to click on the Annotation Classes tab, double click on the annotation subclass you are looking to edit and then select the symbol tab.  Make your symbol changes here.  Now for all newly created annotation in this subclass, the new symbol will be used.  To change the existing features, you'll need to edit the symbol id field to be the newly created symbol id from the collection. If you have annotation that isn't feature linked you can either create a new symbol in the collection by clicking the plus sign or double click on a symbol to use that as a starting point.  Once symbol edits are made and the new symbol is created, just edit the symbol id of the features to point to the newly created symbol. thanks Wendy ...

Hi Julie, In ArcMap, this Label button placed a piece of text in the map annotation group.   Pro does not support map annotation, so there is no equivalent tool.  You can convert labels to annotation and/or use the editing tools to easily create and edit annotation that lives in annotation feature classes.  You will also soon be able to use the Annotate Selected Features geoprocessing tool when it comes out in the next release. thanks, Wendy ...
