How to use Contour
Annotation Tool in ArcToolbox ArcMap ArcGIS??Contour Annotation Tool

Contour Annotation
Creates annotation for
contour features.
The tool creates an
annotation feature class with corresponding mask polygons based on input
contour features.
1. Input Features
The contour line feature
class for which the annotation will be created.
2. Output Geodatabase
The workspace where the
output feature classes will be saved. The workspace can be an existing
geodatabase or an existing feature dataset.
3. Contour Label Field
The field in the input
layer attribute table upon which the annotation text will be based.
4. Reference Scale
Enter the scale to use
as a reference for the annotation. This sets the scale to which all symbol and
text sizes in the annotation will be based.
5. Output Layer Name
The group layer that
will contain the contour layer, the annotation, and the mask layer. When
working in ArcCatalog, you can use the Save To Layer File tool to write the
output group layer to a layer file. When using ArcMap, the tool adds the group
layer to the display if this option is checked in the geoprocessing options.
The group layer that is created is temporary and will not persist after the
session ends unless the document is saved.
6. Contour and Label Color
The color of the output contour layer and annotation features.
- BLACK—The output contour layer and annotation features will be drawn in black. This is the default.
- BROWN—The output contour layer and annotation features will be drawn in brown.
- BLUE—The output contour layer and annotation features will be drawn in blue.
7. Contour Type Field (optional)
The field in the input layer attribute table containing a value for the type of contour feature. An annotation class will be created for each type value.
8.
Contour Alignment (optional)
The annotation can be aligned to the contour elevations so that the top of the text is always placed uphill. This option allows the annotation to be placed upside down. The contour annotation can also be aligned to the page, ensuring that the text is never placed upside down.
- PAGE— The annotation will be aligned to the page, ensuring that the text is never placed upside down. This is the default.
- UPHILL—The annotation will be aligned to the contour elevations so that the top of the text is always placed uphill. This option allows the annotation to be placed upside down.
9. Enable Laddering (optional)
Placing annotation in ladders will place the text so it appears to step up and step down the contours in a straight path. These ladders will run from the top of a hill to the bottom, will not cross each other, will belong to a single slope, and will not cross any other slope.
- Checked—Annotation will step up and down the contours in a straight path.
- Unchecked—Annotation will not be placed up and down the contours in a straight path. This is the default.
Map Server Cache Tiling Scheme to Polygons
How to use Map Server Cache
Tiling Scheme to Polygons Tool in ArcToolbox ArcMap ArcGIS??Map Server Cache Tiling Scheme to Polygons
Map Server Cache Tiling Scheme to Polygons Tool, Annotation Toolset, Cartography Toolbox
Map Server Cache Tiling Scheme To Polygons
Creates a new polygon
feature class from an existing tiling scheme.
This tool subdivides a
data frame extent using the same scales as an existing map service cache tiling
scheme and creates tiles over a large area, or supertile. Since the supertile
extent is larger than the actual tiles defined in the scheme, tiles used as
input into the Tiled Labels To Annotation tool can convert labels to annotation
over a larger area at a time. This process minimizes annotation duplication
across tiles.
1. Map Document
The source map document.
2. Data Frame
The data frame from the
source map document.
3. Tiling Scheme
Path to a predefined
tiling scheme .xml file.
4. Output Feature Class
The output polygon feature class.
5.
Generate polygons that intersect the map extent
Choose whether to produce tiles for the entire extent of the tiling scheme or only tiles that intersect the full extent of the data frame.
- Checked—Polygon features will be created for the full extent of the data frame. This is the default.
- Unchecked—Polygon features will be created for the full extent of the tiling scheme.
6. Clip tiles at the coordinate system horizon
Choose whether to constrain the polygons to the valid area of use for the geographic or projected coordinate system of the data frame.
- Checked—Polygon features will only be created within the valid area of use for the geographic or projected coordinate system of the data frame. Tiles that are within the extent of the tiling scheme but outside the extent of the coordinate system horizon will be clipped. This is the default.
- Unchecked—Polygon features will be created for the full extent of the tiling scheme. Within each scale level, polygons will be of a uniform size and will not be clipped at the coordinate system horizon. This may create data that is outside the valid area of use for the geographic or projected coordinate system. If a scale within the tiling scheme would generate a tile that is larger than the spatial domain of the feature class, null geometry will be created for that feature.
7. Generate polygons that match map service caches with anti-aliasing enabled (optional)
Choose whether to generate polygons that match map service caches with anti-aliasing enabled. A map service cache supertile is 2048 x 2048 pixels with antialiasing or 4096 x 4096 pixels without. To see if anti-aliasing was used in an existing cache, open the tiling scheme file, conf.xml, and check to see if the <Antialiasing> tag is set to true.
- Checked—Polygon tiles will be created to match the supertile extent of a map service cache with anti-aliasing enabled.
- Unchecked—Polygon tiles will be created to match the supertile extent of a map service cache without anti-aliasing enabled. This is the default.
8. Scales (optional)
The scale levels at which you will create polygons. These scale levels will automatically populate based on the scale levels in the input tiling scheme. You may choose to create polygons for all or only some of the scale levels that are included in your tiling scheme. To add additional scale levels, however, you will need to modify your tiling scheme file or create a new one, as the Add Value button is always disabled for this tool.
