PROBLEM

Map labels don't display

Last Published: April 25, 2020

Description

The labels on my ArcIMS map are not displaying.

Cause

The symbol tags in your map configuration file may have an attribute of overlap="false". This means that the symbols CANNOT BE OVERLAPPED by any label.

Solution or Workaround



The following tags have the overlap attribute set to "false":

Code:
<HASHLINESYMBOL color="128,128,128" linethickness="1" tickthickness="1"
overlap="false" />


Code:
<SIMPLEMARKERSYMBOL overlap="false" color="0,0,255" width="1" />

Edit your map configuration file to have overlap="true" (or just remove the attribute; it will be set to "true" by default).
