Working with Text Layers
Creating Text Layers
Text layers allow you to control the placement and appearance of text very
precisely. The
labels that are generated automatically for features on the map
(page 1091) are placed dynamically and shift position as you zoom in and out.
This is useful for maps that are intended for viewing on the web using
Autodesk
MapGuide
(page 1376). For plotted or printed map sheets, text layers may be
more appropriate.
Each text layer is its own feature class, and is stored in its own SDF file in a
particular coordinate system. A single text layer can contain multiple text
features. For example, you might create features that represent individual lines
in a map title.
Once you add and check in text features, you can use the text again in another
map. You connect to a text layer SDF file as you would to any SDF file.
You can edit existing text features to change their contents or style. Text layer
style settings (which apply to the entire layer) are stored with the layer. Style
overrides (which apply only to a specific text feature) are stored with that
feature in the SDF file.
