Hi Adam, This is a bug. Most features are clipped to the visible extent before being submitted to the label engine, so as far as Maplex is concerned, it is labelling at the end of the street. One exception is when fixed position is used for polygons; the whole feature is sent in so Maplex can calculate the centre point. Street address labelling is another situation where we should be sending in the whole feature and only placing a label if the end of the feature is within the visible extent. If you could submit an support request to your local distributor or to Esri Support Services, we'll get to work on a fix. Unfortunately, it is too late for 10.2.1, but we should be able to fix it in the next release.

Hi Zdenkah, There was no major new functionality added to Maplex at 10.2, only targeted bug fixes. That said, your labels should not have changed significantly with recent releases. Can you check the following settings and see if the problem is still there? Label Position tab > Options > Avoid holes = checked Label Position tab > May place label outside polygon boundary = unchecked Label Position tab > Place label at fixed position in polygon = unchecked Conflict Resolution tab > Never remove = unchecked In particular, the Never remove option should always be turned off, unless you are happy for either your labels to overlap, or some (or all) of your label properties to be ignored. If you have the settings as above, and you are still having problems, there is probably a bug in the software. If you submit a support request to your local distributor or to ESRI Support Services an analyst such as myself will be happy to investigate the issue with you. http://support.esri.com/en/ Thanks,

From the annotation layer in the TOC, right-click > Properties (or double-click) > Display tab > Transparent. It's a percentage scale where 0% is opaque and 100% is completely transparent (i.e. invisible).

Hi Lazar, What you are trying to do is possible, but it depends how your features are digitised. You can use the Near GP tool to find the nearest city to each of your road lines, but if your lines are very long, it might not give the results you are expecting. For example, if one road line crosses the entire district polygon, the "nearest" city may be just off the opposite side of the district. You may need to cut your line features so only the end near the boundary is used. When you have done this though, you can join the road layer to the city layer using the NEAR_FID field that the Near tool has added to the road layer. Then label the roads using the city name from the joined table. Maplex can place the labels off the end of the road as in your example, but unfortunately you have to choose between labeling off the end of the line or before the start of the line (Offset along line section of the Label Offset dialog). It is not possible to allow both. You can create two label classes though - one for 'before start' and one for 'after end' and manually set up SQL queries to decide which label class is right for each feature.

Hi Andrea, I think the confusion here is because even though the symbol is a point, it still has a size. The feature geometry is what we call the coordinate at the center of the point symbol, but in most cases, you will want the offset to be measured from the outside edge. [ATTACH=CONFIG]25010[/ATTACH] Here is a point labeled with offset 0, measuring from the symbol boundary. [ATTACH=CONFIG]25011[/ATTACH] And here is a point labeled with offset 0, but measuring from the feature geometry. The label now overlaps the symbol. [ATTACH=CONFIG]25012[/ATTACH] This is a point label with an offset of 2, measuring from the symbol boundary (both checkboxes are unchecked - this is what most users will want). [ATTACH=CONFIG]25013[/ATTACH] Some points are symbolized with awkward shapes, and checking measure from exact symbol outline can help bring the label in towards the symbol. This label has an offset of 0, measuring from the symbol outline. [ATTACH=CONFIG]25014[/ATTACH] I've drawn an approximate bounding box for the symbol here (in red) to show what happens when measure from exact symbol outline is unchecked. The offset of 0 is measured from the bounding box. In all of these examples, the offset is measured to the nearest point of the bounding box around the label. In other words, the bottom left corner of the 'L' of 'Label'. Another word like 'Table' would not appear be placed as close to the symbol. Hope this helps.

Hi Jill, Are you labelling a regular grid of streets, or are they at angles in between 0° and 90°? Do you have a rotated dataframe? If your streets are mostly perpendicular, with an unrotated dataframe, straight labelling should work for you, but if some streets are at other angles, you will have to use a workaround. If you try and divide your features into two labels classes using SQL queries, you could set one label class to horizontal and the other could use Rotate by Attribute to add 90° to each label. Sorry we don't have a better solution for you.

Hi Kyle, Mxds can become corrupt for a number of reasons, but this is often fixed using Save As to save the document under a different name. If you have done this and are still experiencing crashes, we'd like to take a look at it. Please submit a support request to your local distributor or to ESRI Support Services, and an analyst such as myself will be happy to investigate the issue with you. http://support.esri.com/en/ The line connection option was available at 10.0, but it was a global parameter that applied to all label classes in the map. Now you can choose a different connection method for each label class. It is grayed out when the street feature type is selected because street labeling has its own special connection rules.

Hi Ben, Annotation needs to be generated at a specific scale - if there is a reference scale set in the map, this is used, otherwise the anno is generated at the current scale. If you want to create anno for multiple scales at once, you will need to use the Tiled Labels to Annotation tool: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/#/Tiled_Labels_To_Annotation/007000000007000000/

Yes, the Maplex minimum feature size option only applies to the part of the feature that is in the visible extent.

This is very bad news. Opening at a previous version should not cause a crash, either for labeling or feature-linked annotation. Could you post a sample of your data, or even better, submit a support request to ESRI Support Services? An analyst such as myself will then be happy to investigate the issue with you. http://support.esri.com/en/
