Darren, Thanks, that did it! I had forgot to turn on Maplex labeling.

Hi, I have a polygon of township sections and have the label set to show the section number. As you pan the screen the section label moves to where it is visible on your screen (if that section is visible). What I want to do is have the label stay centered in the section, even if the center of the section is not visible. I tried using the label manager, however my only placement options for the polygon are "always horizontal, always straight, try horizontal first, then straight and only place label inside polygon". I was thinking there is a way to force it to stay in the center, no matter what part of the polygon is on the screen, however I can't seem to find it. Any help in the right direction is appreciated!

Richard, The screenshot example was perfect...I was not selecting the "Use selected features". I figured I must be missing a step. Thanks to everyone for their help! Chris

Thanks for the responses. I guess my questions is now.. if I search by attribute first, what we call "service_points", based on the attribute the result may show all service points in our system. Then if I take this result and search by location, my source layer will still be "county". How do I, in the search by location, indicate a specific county polygon since my source layer is "county" (which contains polygons for all the counties). I must be missing a step somewhere. If my counties were individual layers I would just select the county layer that I needed but I agree with Neil, doing it this way creates problems for editing edges and other issues. Jayanta, your option does work well with the definition query, I sometimes forget to reset the query and thought maybe doing it with the select by location would eliminate that. Thanks Again

Hi, I have been using the Select by Location tool (within ArcGIS 10.1) to find our asset information/numbers based on certain polygons (e.g., number of service meters within polygon A). I then use the Select by Attribute tool to further break the results down. I have individual layers/feature classes for some of our polygons...for example our service territories are broken down into individual layers for each service territory and that layer contains just the one polygon. For these, the select by location works great because your source layer is that individual service territory layer. However, for some things, such as our counties layer, we only have one layer/feature class which is made up of multiple polygons. My question ...is there a way to use the select by location tool when you only have the one layer and are wanting a specific polygon within that layer (I couldn't see where I could specify further down past the Source Layer)? The source layer in my case is County however I want to be able to specify a county within that layer. I could break out all of the counties to individual layers/feature classes and do it that way but I like the control of having one layer (just seems easier to manage to me). If there is a way to do this I will actually merge some of my other individual layers into a single feature class as well. Thanks!

Chris, Thanks for the response. I was thinking of doing a map book however I don't know if it will do exactly what I want for this. When we get contractors in and they are working on a specific service area, I want them to have a map that shows just the lines/points in that service area. The map book, I believe but could be wrong, will zoom to fit the polygon. However the polygon is not square (we have some really odd shaped areas) so when I zoom to see the service area, it will also show some parts of other service areas just due to the shapes of the service areas. I do use map books for other things in our system and they work great because the sections are square. I have a 3rd party program that does this well and clips/hides anything outside the selected polygons when printing, however it hides everything outside the selected polygon. We use a layer that has road outlines/names etc.. that I do not want hidden/clipped on printing. I was just thinking the shape file route would allow me to keep some layers showing the full extent (e.g, roads) and show just a particular service area.

Hi, I was needing some help on the select by location tool. We are a utility service and I have used polygon's to outline specific service areas of our utility within my map. What I am wanting to do is have a quick way to print a map that shows just one specific service area. What I was thinking is that I could select a particular polygon (service area), using the select by location, it selects all the layers within that service area. I then was going to export all the selected features out to a shape file for that service area (e.g, servicearea2south.shp). I would then have individual shape files of our service areas that I could print. If figured the shape file could be easily updated this way as service points are added or removed from each area. My problem is, within each polygon several layers are selected when doing this. I don't think I can export several layers out at the same time or to a single shapefile. Anyone have any suggestions on how this would work or if there is a better way to do this. Thanks!
