I have a topo map with various polygons representing lakes.  The label applied from the name field of the attribute table is the same size for each lake whether the lake is huge or tiny.  Is it possible to make the label automatically change size to match the polygon?  Maybe the label could be a percentage of the polygon size? ...

I have several .gdb files which contain hundreds of files within the .gdb files.  I have managed to put together a topo map with ArcMap by Adding Vector data and adding some of the .gdbtable files which are lakes, contour lines, etc. Are labels, like lake names usually within the .gdb files?  Would they be in the .gdbtable files?  Or, in a different type of file within the .gdb file? I can use the ArcMap Label Manager to add the lake names but I would rather find the existing data, if that data might be in the .gdb files. ... View more

Hello, I appreciate any help and information you can offer me.  I am new at this and trying to learn fast. I can view a topographic map on a website online and when I right-click the webpage it reads "Arc GIS API for Flex..." and the source code reads: "This application was built using Adobe Flex".    I zoomed in all the way and I was able to locate a separate URL for a 256x256 tile that seems to be a .jpg file.  There are separate URLs for each image, each with a distinct path.  I would like to download a small area of the topo map and set it up on a different server.  I don't have access to the server that the topo map is on.  I can download individual .jpg files and stitch them together but I assume the map is not really .jpg raster files, what format are the original topographic tiles?   How can I find the vector data? ...

How is a basic topographic map stored on a ArcGIS server?  Is the data vector or raster?  Is the data 256x256 .jpg map tiles with a set for each zoom level?  What I need to figure out is how to get a topo map from a website setup with: "This application is using ArcGIS API for Flex version 2.3.1. Build date 2011-04-26."   I have permission to download the data but the website owner does not know how to provide the data to me.  I would like to use the topo map on my hand-held Garmin GPS.  I can get 256x256 .jpg files from the site. ...
