Use annotation to save text labels that have been precomputed. The Maplex Label Engine will automatically start to recalculate the. However, advanced Maplex Label Engine capabilities can lead to poor performance and are only recommended for cached map services. Click the Label Engine dropdown arrow and click ESRI. Use the Maplex Label Engine, which does highly intelligent, advanced map labeling, saving significant editing time and placing more labels.
Use the Standard Label Engine, which performs simple map labeling and places fewer map labels but has faster performance. There are three options for generating map text: If more RAM cannot be acquired, then use the Standard Label Engine to generate the cache, or you can use the Maplex Label Engine to create annotation and then use the annotation in the cache. Ensure that the sufficient RAM is available while generating the cache for the service. Though caching is mostly a one-time effort that can help clients get fast access to beautiful high-quality cartographic maps, the cache-building process is also memory and CPU-intensive. The use of the Maplex Label Engine can cause theĬache generation process to give slow throughput. Using this alternative, you would replace on-the-fly Maplex Label Engine labeling with annotation layers in your document. Alternatively, you can precompute your map labels using the Maplex Label Engine, then save these as annotation features. Maplex comes with ArcGIS 10.3 for Desktop. Under Label Engine, make sure Maplex is selected. However, this can lower the quality of your label placement. Verify that the Maplex label engine is being used by right-clicking the data frame, choosing Properties, and clicking the General tab. If you need to make changes you can change on-the-fly map labeling to use the Standard Label Engine, which is faster. Learn more about working with basemap layers or previewing your service
If you are publishing, check the drawing performance for your service in the Preview window. SolutionsĬheck the drawing performance for your layer or basemap layer in ArcMap. When working with a basemap layer, the Maplex Label Engine may decrease performance of map display between pan and zoom operations. Unified user experience for both label engines -Labeling toolbar -Label Manager -Feature weights -Label priorities -Lock labels, view unplaced labels Integration of the Maplex Label Engine -Plugs in to standard tools -Uses ArcGIS text symbol -Uses standard label expression and label class organization. For this reason, the Maplex Label Engine is recommended only for cached map services when publishing map services. The Maplex Label Engine does an excellent job placing labels on the fly but will decrease performance due to the calculations involved. You are using the Maplex Label Engine for computing labels on the fly. Back to Top 10038: Data Frame uses the Maplex Label Engine In this topic
