arcgis desktop - Associating Point Layer, Annotation Group and Line Layer in Map Legend?


I have an annotation group containing charts associated with a point layer in an ArcGIS 10.2 for Desktop layout. There are a number of line types on the charts.


How can I add the chart line symbology to the legend so it is displayed when the point layer is displayed?



Answer




  • Create a group containing the point layer and an empty chart line layer,

  • Add symbology to the empty chart line layer for each chart line,


  • Associate the annotation layer with the charts to the main group.


When the group is displayed the points and chart annotation is displayed on the map and legend.


Unfortunately there appears to be a bug because unticking the group layer will not clear the chart annotation so a refresh is required to clear it. (Refresh probably best handled with python.)
