I'm working on Arcgis 10.
I have a point shapefile representing events with several points having coinciding coordinates (They have the same coordinates). For representing them in a dynamic way, I found a nice way - Feature layers maptips.
Problem is: I was asked to produce a static (paper) map of the events. Is there a tool that can take these events and shift them apart a bit so all will be seen?
(I know that spreading them about will alter their coordinates, but I am prepared to do so on a duplicate shapefile for the display on the map).
Answer
You can use "cartograpic representations" to display your points. Then use the Disperse Markers tool. Your point coordinates will still the same, only the position of the symbol (=representation) will move.
This requires a ArcInfo license (ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced).
