arcgis desktop - Moving cartographic representation of labels in ArcMap?


Cartographic representation in ArcMap is a nice way to temporary change geometry of features, so you can make adjustments just for map making.



In my mapping project I need to move some point features with representations and also, I need to automatically label them. It seems that labels are always positioned in relation to the original geometry, not where the representation was moved.


enter image description here


Is this how representations are supposed to work or is there a way to automatically label representations?



Answer



Just found the answer. The problem described above occurs only if you use the "move tool" from the representation toolbar.


It seems that you have to use the "select tool" (black arrow with "R" in the lower-right corner icon) to move representations if you want the label to fallow.
