Resumen
Defense Mapping production tool that converts MTM and TM labels to annotation based on an input annotation feature class and map document.
Uso
This tool attempts to match label classes on a layer with an annotation class in the target annotation feature class. If it finds a match, it will create annotation for that label class.
If the map has a reference scale set and it does not match the reference scale of the annotation feature class, you will get a warning. If the map does not have reference scale, it checks the map scale, and if it is different than the annotation feature class reference scale, you will get a warning.
If a layer’s visibility is turned off, that layer will be skipped.
If the property Label Features is not selected on a layer, that layer will be skipped.
If the property Label features in the class is not checked in a label class, that label class will be skipped.
If the min/max scale properties in the label class indicate the labels should not be drawn based on the current map scale, the label class will be skipped.
Generating annotation is a resource-intensive process. Processing a map document that will result in large numbers of annotations created can consume a lot of memory.
Labeling in the .mxd will be turned off after running this tool so the labels and annotation do not conflict.
