Hi Brad, there's several ways to approach this. You may want to separate your maps into multiple pages, or use inset maps to be able to zoom in to areas with a lot of labels. Also, you could convert your labels to annotation by right clicking the layer in the table of contents. If you do that, you can edit and move each one individually to wherever you choose. A third option is to use Maplex labels, if you have an advanced license. Maplex labels are a lot more versatile, with more options to play with. You can read more about it here: ArcGIS Help 10.1 ...

Hi Clare, your question is a bit confusing. So, you have coordinates for points that you want to digitize? Or, are you saying you have two points along a line that represents the bank? And what exactly so you mean by spatial definition? Maybe you could post a screenshot of what you have--both feature classes and tables, ... View more

Hi P.V., If you want to change the font size of part of your label, you can use a label expression, adding it to the one you have already. There are examples of font size expressions in this help file: ArcGIS Help 10.1 ... View more

Hi Manetta, You can play with both the symbology (the way the layer is drawn) and the labels by right clicking the layer in the table of contents and choosing properties. There are tabs for symbology and labels. Under symbology, you can choose the field to base it on (type), and then pick different colors or symbols for each type. You can also label your wells using that field, and checking the "label features in this layer" box under the label tab. You can read up on this stuff in this help file: ArcGIS Help 10.1 ...

Or maybe this: rows = arcpy.UpdateCursor(InTable) for row in rows:     if row.getValue(sField) == " ":         row.sField = row.lfield     rows.updateRow(row) del row, rows ... View more

I think you want something more like this (excuse any bad formatting): arcpy.SpatialJoin_analysis(mLanduse, mSoils, mLanduse_SpatialJoin, "JOIN_ONE_TO_ONE", "Keep_All", "","WITHIN")  rows = arcpy.UpdateCursor(mLanduse_SpatialJoin) for row in rows:     if row.getValue(sField) == " ":         row.setValue(sField, lField) rows.updateRow(row) del rows ...

Hey Lisa, I didn't realize you were working with raster data! Your original post didn't mention it, so I assumed we were talking about features. Anyway, I opened two raster layers in ArcMap. One is floating point, and the other is integer. The floating point layer had values in the ranges field with several decimal places (see screenshot), and the integer only had decimal places in the label field, as you're describing, so it led me to wonder--are you sure you data isn't integer? Also, I do notice that the floating point has overlapping ranges, but not labels, which is weird. ... View more
