labels over annotations

[JanKlasa]

I have a problem - some labels goes over annotations in my map. So my question is: How to prevent Maplex labels from placing over geodatabase annotations (annotations must be intact)?

Thank you very much for help!

Hi Jan,

Labels are the last item which is drawn on a map in ArcMap. You can prevent label overplacing Annotations by using Feature Weight , see here  ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)

Annotations are features, therefor you can use that option.

Another way is described here: Esri Mapping Centre - Ask a Cartographer

hope that helps.

Kind regards,

Anna
