Subject: [gislist] Best Process

ArcGIS 9----



I am wondering what the best process might be for labeling a roads layer with
one’s own style set(marker symbols). In the past, I have either converted
polylines into point files and then labeled those with my specific symbols but
what I am really trying to replicate is ArcGIS’ automatic labeling, but for HWY
symbols of my choice. The one’s I am using can’t be imported because they
are “marker” type symbols and can’t be used on lines. The other way I have
done this in the past is to create a point shape file with my intended “symbol
locations” specified, and then I just use this layer for symbolizing. Both
ways are time consuming so, if anyone has a better method, I am all ears.
