Additional Information

The lines in the vector tiles disappear when zoomed in past the Maximum Cached Scale, unlike the input map. The line segments that do not get labeled in this case are not viewable at a scale at which they will be long enough for the label to be placed.

Workaround

  1. Use the Add Geometry Attributes (Data Management) tool for the line feature class, and set the LINE_BEARING as the geometry property. The column Line_Bearing is created representing the direction of each line in degrees.
  2. Use the Feature To Point tool for the column created.
  3. Customize the label position of the point feature layer. Set Placement to 'centered on point', the rotation field to BEARING, and the rotation type to Geographic.
