Specifying Anchor Points

Product Documentation
Intermediate

You can attach labels to specified geometry point locations.

Line and curve label anchors allow you to create much more graphic type label styles. For example, you can display crow’s feet to indicate where segments start and end.

Note

Anchor points do not support the spanning option for parcel segment labels.

These anchors apply to the following segment labels: parcel lines and curve Label, general line and curve labels, alignment line, and curve and spiral labels.

There are four line label anchor points that you can use to attach labels to: start, end, middle points and label location. The label location anchor can be dragged anywhere along the line.

Line label anchor points

For spiral labels, in addition to the label location, start, end, and middle points anchors, there is a Point of Intersection anchor.
