Layers with a priority of 12 will be placed last (low priority). Layers with a priority of 1 will be placed first (high priority). Set priority by selecting a number in the Priority setting for a respective layer. The priority is the order of preference in which labels are placed. The Priority setting allows for complex hierarchical labeling sequences. Information regarding the success rate of placement can be reviewed in the MAPublisher Log. It is normal for a certain percentage of labels to not succeed in being placed due to rule or data conflicts. Locked output or suppression layers are displayed in red in the Source list in the configuration dialogue box. Alternately, set the suppression layer to and unsuccessfully placed labels will not output to any layer. For best viewing results after labeling, hide the suppression text layers.
Suppression layers are repositories for labels that could not be placed successfully according to the rules and have not met all placement conditions. Existing Text layers can be used as output layers or use the option to create a Text layer automatically when labels are generated. Choose an output layer to contain only the labels that could be placed successfully on the map based on the defined rules. Generated labels are placed on layers specified in the Output layer and Suppression layer drop-down lists. To modify a label's case, use the Label case setting located in the Style dialog box.

Choose the appropriate attribute as the source for labels in the Label source drop-down list (see how to style labels in the MAPublisher LabelPro Styles section).īy default, label case matches the attribute table exactly. When a layer is set to be labeled, its label settings become enabled. Obstacles are used to prevent labels from being placed over or around specified features. Click in the Label column beside the layer to set it to be labeled or click in the Obstacle column to set it to be an obstacle. Each layer can be set to either be labeled or be an obstacle. Select a layer in the Source list and view its settings to the right of the Source list. The Source column shows the MAP View, Area, Point, Line and Text layers that are enabled in Setup Layers. Units for margins are determined by Document Setup in Adobe Illustrator. These settings are applied in conjunction with the settings from the Source Art section in the main MAP LabelPro configuration dialogue box.
Right-click Label Margin boxes to change measurement units. Data that is outside of the label margins is disregarded in the labeling process. To set Label Margins, enable the option and enter the extents of the label container in increments of the current document units.
In the Advanced options dialogue box set the Label Placement Area option to the extents based on the current artboard or the extents of labeled source layers. It is possible to perform labeling operations for multiple MAP Views simultaneously, however, source data layers and output text layers must belong to the same MAP View. Layers may be used as both a label and an obstacle concurrently. All label settings (including styles and rules) are remembered even if a layer is subsequently not shown. All layers are listed in the dialogue box, but only layers that are checked will be included in the labeling process or considered as obstacles. To show layers in the Source list, check the appropriate Show check box to the right of the layer name. The Setup Layers dialogue box displays all valid MAP Views and their MAP Layers in the document. Obstacles are map objects that are included in the conflict resolution decision making process and are considered objects that must be avoided when trying to place a label. Before labeling, click Setup Layers to configure which MAP Layers are used in the Source list in the MAP LabelPro dialogue box-these source layers can be set as obstacles, as labels, or both.
