Hello,
Please consider adding the option to always apply abbreviation dictionaries and truncation to the Maplex label engine even if the labels could otherwise fit inside the map.
Justification:
- This will allow the labels to be consistent on large and small polygons / features.
- Abbreviation dictionaries are "cleaner" than needing to add another field just to configure a label.
- It is easier to set up an abbreviation compared to adding Arcade, Python, etc code into the label expression.
- As a bonus the abbreviation dictionaries could be copied when creating a layer file, or copying from one ArcGIS Pro window to another.
Figure 1: Allow the option to always apply abbreviation dictionaries even if the label can already fit on the map.
Thank You
