When is a marker layer included in a polygon?
When a marker symbol layer is included in a line or polygon symbol, it includes a marker placement, which determines how and where the symbol positions the markers relative to the feature geometry. Marker symbol layers in a point symbol do not have a marker placement; they are always placed relative to the point geometry.
When do you use markers in line symbols?
They are most often used in point symbols, but they can also be included in line symbols and polygon symbols to draw shapes along lines and outlines or within areas. Marker symbol layers in line or polygon symbols include marker placements to define how the markers are positioned relative to the geometry.
Do you use leader lines or labels for small polygons?
Whether you’re labeling soils, buildings, geologic units, lakes, or parks; you’ll eventually be faced with the problem of the text for the label being larger than the polygon you’re labeling. In most cases we recommend offsetting the labels from the small polygons and using leader lines to positively associate the label with its feature.
How to set the position of the markers?
Check Angle to line to orient the markers to the line instead of pointing up. Set Perpendicular offset to place markers away from the line. Decide whether the Endings draw with a marker or a gap, or no constraint.
How to rotate or resize a marker layer?
When you rotate or resize a marker symbol layer, the transformation originates from the anchor point. You can set common anchor point positions by clicking Anchor point presets and choosing a location from the gallery.
Where do you place a marker in ArcGIS Pro?
A single marker is placed within the polygon, with the On polygon, Center of mass, or Bounding box center setting as specified by the Method property. You can specify offsets in x and y, and clip the marker to the polygon boundary if it exceeds the size or otherwise overlaps the polygon outline.
