This doesn't work for layers inside groups? I have a map with many groups, and sub-groups. The select all and toggle selectable works only for the top level layers. It doesn't do anything to stuff in group layers. I can spend 10 minutes expanding all the myriad groups and sub-groups and try this again, but who needs another time wasting work-around. There really needs to be a one click option that makes everything selectable.

It would be useful to have a list view for unplaced labels. Chicken peck searching visually isn't very helpful when the map is very busy and/or there are lots and lots of labels. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/unplaced-label-list-view/m-p/1239349#M63199

Right now if you add CAD data to Pro it defaults to making a separate layer for each layer in CAD. If the source CAD has a great many layers, as they often do, this results in a giant pile of layer clutter that can be time consuming to remove. Also a problem because the more layers present the slower the entire program goes. It'd be great if there were some options to better control how CAD data is added so that endless piles of layer clutter can be minimized. A great one would be to NOT make a layer from every CAD layer and just group them by object type. Another pain is how Pro makes a GIS layer structure for object types that don't actually exist in the source CAD. Similar slow down and tedious removal processes apply here as well.

Thanks, that worked. But seeing as all I have is the default label class in this project, why is this even necessary? I never use label classes, so how would I go into the settings for the default labels class and make it so that disallows key numbering? What if I made a new label class, where is the key numbering allowed/disallowed in that? Why is key numbering stuck on in the default label class? It makes no logical sense unless there must be somewhere else to disallow this. Or is there some preset 'default' label class settings that just exist in stone for all time?

I have a Maplex labeling setup and it won't stop using key numbering. How do turn key numbering off? The group is set to default, I don't see anything in the group setup to disable key numbering. I can put zero in the min/max allowed, but the program resets that to 2-20. Map just had a click box to disallow key numbering, where is that in Pro?

Pro 3.1 - This option keeps disappearing from the menu. It was there for me just yesterday, I haven't updated, not a thing has changed. Now what? Back to ArcMap yet again.

Currently if you use key numbering for labels, Pro automatically chooses the location it will put the key. (ie. 1 = blah, 2= yadda etc), which usually means somewhere it gets in the way of other things. The work around is to convert it to annotation then move it, but that has its own irritations when the attributes feeding the labels change. It'd be nice if we could tell Pro where we want the key to go.

Is there a way to control which field the legend sorts by when using unique values, multiple fields? I have a legend for a 'heat' map that I want to read COMPANY_NAME, AGMT_EXPIRATION_DATE. But I need it sorted by AGMT_EXPIRATION_DATE in order for the color ramp to makes sense. But if I switch the order of the two fields then it sorts by COMPANY_NAME instead, which results in a meaningless color ramp.

Is there a way to force Pro to use key numbering for all labels? I crank the weight up to the max and turn off all other conflict resolution methods but it still refuse to key label everything. It even leaves some labels unplaced instead of putting them into the key numbering scheme.

How could this be done with dynamic labeling? I'm trying to force it to use key numbering on everything but no matter what I put the weights at Pro still doesn't key label everything. It even leaves some labels unplaced instead of putting them in the key, which makes no sense.

Thanks, I got the symbol background to wipeout, I was just using the wrong version of this symbol. Where are you fining that last offset option? The only offset option I can find (shown below) moves the entire label object (text & point symbol together) but I need to just move the symbol relative to the text (or vice versa)

I've imported a point marker symbol from a font and applied it to a label. I can't find out how to set the point symbol fill to be non-transparent, ie I need that red line inside the shield to go away. The text also remains stubbornly non-centered in the symbol no matter what option I seem to tweak. It's already set to scale the symbol in all directions to fit the text, but its not quite making it. Label engine is set to Maplex. How can I do either of these?

Thanks, got it working. Took forever to get the options right so it looked good. Somehow it's more confusing than the way ArcMap did it.

I have a .ttf file that contains custom road sign shields for my area. I need to load it into the label symbology so that the symbol is used in the same way as the default shields. (ie I need to see the label contents inside the shield symbol) I did this in Map easily, but can't figure out how to do it in Pro. I've added the .ttf font to the Windows fonts installed, but that doesn't seem to help me use it as a symbol for labels like it did in Map. Can this be done in Pro?

I have a similar problem, with the coordinate system in Map3D set correctly to match the image I'm trying to IINSERT. ArcGIS locates it properly when added, the image georef says the correct coordinate system. I have ARCGISCONNECTOROPTIONS set to 2. And still Map3D drops it in the wrong place. There must be some Map3D setting somewhere that is screwing it up. Also tried to use jpg format instead of the tiff I had it in because I'm aware tif frequently has a bunch of BS tags that often trip up software.
