Labeling and Annotation in ArcMap

Labeling is an essential tool in any GIS users toolbox. Labeling is quick and easy, however, by default, labels are placed automatically by the software, which does an OK job. To create well-labeled maps, you will typically want full control of the labels by converting them to annotation.

I use annotations routinely, and was just searching KZbin to see what I could find. I am very happy I found your video, which was very easy to follow, and I found it helpful to learn how easy it is to display the road ranges along with the street name. On my map, there wasn't enough space between the numbers and the "to" so I entered [LeftFromAddress] & " to " & [LeftToAddress] & vbcrlf & [STREET] . It was much easier to read with the numbers spaced apart. I then edited the symbol to Y Offset -1, and Leading 3, to shift the alignment so it looks great on my map where my road width is 2. Thanks for the video.

How to set auto labeling. For example, I want my label to be created as I go on placing new elements. In this case elements can be anything like polygon, links, nodes. To clear the confusion, I ma using WaterGEMS software integrated with ArcMap and I have so many elements, Links, nodes and polygons and those of variety of categories on links, nodes and polygons.

Thank You!

to make the new space in labeling, why should use *vbcrlf* text ?

They need to improve the software so the damn not responding warning doesn't show up. 1k+ program that runs like a 2000 program

Sorry, got to give you a thumbs down because you didn't demonstrate manipulating the label after you annotated it....like rotate it horizontal, or change font style for just one address. That was your stated purpose of changing it to an annotation.
