Description

ESRIĀ® announces the ArcGIS Desktop 9.1 Maplex for ArcGIS Formatting Tag Label Placement Patch. This Patch solves a problem with the incorrect placement of labels when the label text contains formatting tags. It deals specifically with the issues listed below under Issues Addressed with this Patch.

We recommend that all ArcGIS Desktop 9.1 customers with the Maplex for ArcGIS Extension, who place labels with text formatting tags, download and install this Patch at their earliest convenience to ensure the highest quality experience when working with ArcGIS Desktop 9.1.

 

Issues Addressed with this Patch

  • CQ00270563 - Dynamic labels containing formatting tags may are incorrectly placed by Maplex for ArcGIS.
  • The main issue is:

    • Labels containing text with formatting tags are incorrectly placed during the labeling process. When text contains formatting tags, the positions of the text characters are not properly handled resulting in text at incorrect locations. In this case, text is often placed in the lower left hand extent of the label placement run.

      This patch resolves the improper handling of formatting tags during label placement that was causing the text to be incorrectly placed.
