How is annotation organized in an ArcMap document?
Map document annotation is best organized using annotation groups. You can create annotation groups in ArcMap by using the Draw toolbar. Graphic text is useful for adding information on and around your map that exists in page space—as opposed to annotation, which is stored in geographic space.
Where can I find an annotation on a map?
You can add annotation stored in a geodatabase to any map, and it appears as an annotation layer in the ArcMap table of contents. Like other feature classes in a geodatabase, all features in an annotation feature class have a geographic location, extent, and attributes.
How to make the map centered in print composer?
On my suggestion (Feature #6988) it was Fixed in changeset 5aac8bbfe060502944b4b4cc3bfb00860b583e98. So now after hitting Set to map canvas extent in Print Composer / Item Properties / Extents the map in map frame is centered both horizontally and vertically (at this moment only in weekly builds of QGIS 2.1 – I have tested it and it works)
How to zoom to layer extent in map composer?
In map window it is pretty easy – I just click on ” Zoom to layer extent “. Unfortunately when I create map frame in Map composer, the layer is centered on width (good) but not centered on height (I guess it is aligned to bottom).
Is there a way to label features in ArcMap?
If you don’t have annotation, you can label features in ArcMap and convert the labels to annotation. If you have coverage, CAD, or other annotation formats and want your annotation to be editable or linked to features, convert them to geodatabase annotation using ArcToolbox.
How to change the symbology of an ArcMap document?
You can change symbology for most annotation formats using the Layer Properties dialog box. These changes are reflected on the current map only, unless you save them in a .lyr file. If you have map document annotation, use the Draw toolbar to change symbology. Use the ArcMap editing tools to position geodatabase annotation.
