ArcGIS 10.3.1 for Desktop I have an mxd file with nine different frames of essentially the same data (just displaying different layers in each map). These maps all include hospitals (as a point file). I'd like the symbology and labels to be linked between the frames, so if I update a master, the rest gets updated. The files do share a symbology layer (I created one called hospital.lyr), but if I update it, I have to manually go into each frame and reload hospital.lyr. With nine frames, it gets time consuming. Same thing for the label. I have defined a label style (myhospital), but if I update it, I have to go reload it for all the different frames. Can I have these somehow linked, similar to how I can lock the scale/extent of various data frames to a master data frame? Just to be clear, I'm not asking for the symbology to be linked to the layer. I want the symbologies to be linked between the data frames; same thing for the labels. Thanks!

Thank you for the response. That was actually my first guess (after doing some reading), but then the difference was so large, and the selected areas so different it did not make sense. But now I am looking at the data more closely, and I think I did not understand that you can have a 'multi part' polygon. I assumed every row of the table would be a polygon, and then the next row another one physically right next to it. (I know the order of the rows doesn't matter, but I didn't get the idea that you can have a geographically split polygon). The attached image is one row of the attribute table, or one polygon. So now I can understand why this large polygon did not get selected, as a small part of it is within the 1 mile range. So another question is then, is there a way from the attribute table to know if you have a multipart (spatially separated) polygon versus contiguous besides just looking at it? By the way, if someone knows the team at ESRI that develops these training modules (which I generally think are very well done), perhaps they can send this thread to them. Because I think in the bald eagle example, the selection/remove areas method does not seem quite applicable, as it is leaving out many areas that a biologist would consider acceptable.

ArcGIS for Desktop 10.3.1 Source data: ESRI modules regarding Crater Lake (Spatial Analysis) The objective of the analysis was to remove areas that are within 1 mile of a road, as to find suitable habitat for bald eagles that are under the trees and near water. Let's call the layer file for trees and water "trees" for simplicity. Method 1 : Trees --> Select All --> Select by Location à Remove from current selection, those within 1 mile of roads (are within a distance of the source layer feature) à Result: a feature layer with 6774 rows, with a total area of ~8,000 acres Method 2: Road à Create 1 mile buffer (Call this RoadBuffer). Erase (Trees, Road Buffer) à Result: a feature layer with 7097 rows, with a total area of ~20,000 acres When I look at the images (I've attached a snapshot here), Method 2 results make sense. I am not quite sure how Method 1 is working, and Method 1 is actually what the ESRI virtual campus suggests. How are these two functions implemented differently? The buffer/erase method I can easily understand, but how is select by location, remove ... implemented? Thanks!

I wanted to embe a hyperlink in a text box to give the reader more information without cluttering the space with a URL. Would have been nice to have this capability. Seems pretty basic these days.

Thank you so much for your guidance and help (on the other post). It was very helpful. I tried to note the software that I was using, which here at least, was the first line of my post. But I realize when I reposted, I failed to provide that info. ArcGIS 10.3.1 for Desktop, ArcMap I still don't know if there is a way to accomplish what I want. I do not want the URL to be in a table or a field. I know how to make it clickable if it is data or content in one of the tables. I just want to insert a simple text box, and make part of the text clickable. In the text box below, I wanted the underlined section to point to the dept of forestry website. I'm using this tool to generate the text. Thanks!

Thanks for your help. This is what the text block looks like in my map. If you double click it, it opens MS Word, where the underlined section is a URL. I think I realize what my question is more clearly now, which is how do I embed the URL. In the picture below, the top two links work, but the last one doesn't. I don't want to show the URL to my viewer. I want them to click on a text.

Using ArcGIS 10.3.1 for Desktop, ArcMap I would like to embed a URL in an annotation text box, so when I save it as a pdf, it is clickable. This is done in MS Word for example very easily. I know how to add URLs to attribute data or a field, but I just wanted to add it to a simple text box (Rectangle Text) and make the text clickable from the pdf. I read on some website to create the URL in MS Word, then copy it over, and I did that, but it did not work. Any ideas?
