PROBLEM
When users are working with features that have labels in ArcMap, drawing non-text graphics (such as a circle or line) causes the feature labels to disappear under the non-text graphics.
The default label weight ranking set for the labels is too high.
Note: The steps provided are applicable when the Maplex Label Engine option is enabled in ArcMap. To enable it, click Labeling on the Labeling toolbar, and click Maplex Label Engine.
Complete these steps to display the feature labels on top of or below non-text graphics.
Note: Only feature classes with labels in the currently active data frame are listed in the Weight Ranking dialog box.
