Annotation Tool in ArcToolbox ArcMap ArcGIS??Tiled Labels to Annotation Tool

Tiled Labels to Annotation
Converts labels to
annotation for layers in a map based on a polygon index layer.
The tool divides a map
into tiles and creates annotation for each tile in turn. This is useful for
converting a large number of labels to annotation. The polygon index layer can
be generated by the Map Server Cache Tiling Scheme To Polygons or Grid Index
Features tool or any other polygon feature class that covers the area where you
want to create annotation.
1. Map Document
The source map document
that contains the labels to convert to annotation.
2. Data Frame
The data frame from the
map document that contains the labels to convert to annotation.
3. Polygon Index Layer
The polygon layer that contains
tile features.
4. Output Geodatabase
The workspace where the
output feature classes will be saved. The workspace can be an existing
geodatabase or an existing feature dataset.
5. Output Layer
The group layer that
will contain the generated annotation. 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. Annotation Suffix
The suffix that will be
added to each new annotation feature class. This suffix will be appended to the
name of the source feature class for each new annotation feature class. The
reference scale for the annotation will follow this suffix.
7. Reference Scale Value (optional)
The scale value that
will be used as a reference for the annotation. This is the scale on which all
symbol and text sizes in the annotation will be based.
8. Reference Scale Field (optional)
The field in the polygon
index layer that will determine the reference scale of the annotation. This is
the scale on which all symbol and text sizes in the annotation will be based.
9. Tile ID Field (optional)
A field in the polygon
index layer that uniquely identifies the tiled area. These values will populate
the TileID field in the annotation feature class attribute table.
10. Coordinate System Field (optional)
A field in the polygon
index layer that contains the coordinate system information for each tile. Due
to the length required for a field to store coordinate system information, a
polygon index layer that contains a coordinate system field must be a
geodatabase feature class.
11. Map Rotation Field (optional)
A field in the polygon
index layer that contains an angle by which the data frame is to be rotated.
12. Generate Feature Linked Annotation (optional)
This parameter is only
available with ArcGIS Desktop Standard and ArcGIS Desktop Advanced licenses.
Specifies whether the output annotation feature class will be linked to the features in another feature class.
- Unchecked—The output annotation feature class will not be linked to the features in another feature class. This is the default.
- Checked—The output annotation feature class will be linked to the features in another feature class.
13. Generate Unplaced Annotation (optional)
Specifies whether unplaced annotation will be created from unplaced labels.
- Unchecked—Annotation will only be created for features that are currently labeled. This is the default.
- Checked—Unplaced annotation is stored in the annotation feature class. The status field for this annotation is set to Unplaced.
