21. Copyright © 2014 Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC)21 Dynamic labeling: setting scales Set scale range when layer’s labels visible Text appears larger when zoom in Fix the size of labels relative to other features in the map at that scale Zoom to scale

22. Copyright © 2014 Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC)22 Creating annotation from labels Convert labels to annotation Set Reference Scale Set current map scale to be the reference scale Create annotation for specified features

23. Copyright © 2014 Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC)23 Storing annotation Store annotation in the map document Store annotation as a feature class in geodatabase Store feature-linked annotation in geodatabase Annotation feature class in ArcCatalog

24. Chapter Summary Copyright © 2012 Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC)24 You have now learnt to: Symbolise data to make it more meaningful Save, reuse and share symbology Apply a standard symbolisation using stylesheets Use layer files to save symbolisation Recognise the differences between labelling and annotation Place labels and set their scales Convert labels to annotation
