Hi Scott,  We've come a long way since Maplex was a separate product.  In ArcGIS Pro it is the default label engine, so we no longer run into the issues you describe. -Wendy ... View more

Thanks Roland I'll add something to the documentation topic   def FindLabel ( [created_date] 😞 return str(datetime.datetime.strptime([created_date],"%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S %p").date())   -Wendy ... View more

Hi Sam, We can do this now with ArcGIS Pro.  Take a look at Creating label classes from symbology.  You can find the documentation here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/text/label-classes.htm -Wendy ... View more

Hi  At Pro 2.6 we added the Graphics Layer.  Like you request, it is easy to access - listed right there in the Contents pane, and easy to edit - has it's very own ribbon. some help - https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/2.6/help/mapping/layer-properties/graphics-layers.htm -Wendy   ... View more

Hi At Pro 2.6 we added Graphics Layers  https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/2.6/help/mapping/layer-properties/graphics-layers.htm They're the equivalent to map annotation and will store your text and graphics.  You can convert your labels into them, and add text and graphics as you go. If you had map annotation in an mxd you can also import it into a Pro project - it comes right across without any extra effort. -Wendy         ... View more

@DenverBilling  The Tiled Labels To Annotation tool will accomplish what you're looking to do. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/cartography/tiled-labels-to-annotation.htm Let me know if you have any issues with it. -Wendy     ... View more

@JamesFournier1  Things have changed a bit since you posted   a list of annotation feature classes is available when you click the arrow next to Annotation Layers.  there's even an option to Toggle all of them at once by clicking the button in the lower left. if you want to add one by one you can click the drop down arrow on the combo box and select from there.  using the Add another plus sign to add another entry. In order to select annotation feature classes that aren't in the map you will still need to run the tool through code.  you can do it right from the python window.  example scripts can be found in the documentation here:  https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/cartography/annotate-selected-features.htm   If you aren't seeing these UI controls, I'm thinking that you don't have any feature-linked annotation in the map you're working with.  Please double check, as the tool will only run with feature-linked annotation.   -Wendy ...

Thank you for posting the BUG#.  That made it easy for me to tie everything together. Wendy ... View more

Hi Christopher, We agree!  It's on our list of things to implement in Pro so I've marked this as Under Consideration. thanks Wendy ... View more

Hi Pete, It's difficult to know exactly what's going on without seeing the settings but here are some things to check based on your description and images. issue 1 There are different leader styles you can use to set how the leader attaches to the text.  You could try different options there, but I think it's a bigger issue.  Could you log it in with support? issue 2 I looks like your arrowhead is extending past the end of the leader line symbol. Some things to look at.  Are you using a background callout instead of a simple line callout?  Background will give you access to the gap property that you can use to space the end of the leader from the text.  And looking at the line symbol make sure that the arrow marker doesn't have an offset distance set. thanks Wendy ...

Thanks Dave, I can reproduce it now and have logged it in to be fixed. thanks Wendy ... View more

Hi Dave, I'm not able to reproduce this.  Could you attach a layer package so I can see what other settings are set? thanks Wendy ... View more
