For more information on inserting text features, see Adding Text to a
Text Layer
(page 1113).
7 For Font Name, specify the font to use on the text layer.
The Edit Expression button lets you specify an expression for this setting
for advanced use cases.
8 For Font Size, leave the "NullValue(SIZE,number)" expression.
The initial setting for font height is in mapping units and is based on the
existing view. We recommend that you try the suggested height and
adjust the number as needed. If individual instances require a different
height, adjust the value in the SIZE column in the Data Table after you
insert the text instances.
9 Specify other font styling using the drop downs.
If you select MText for Text Type, you can override some of these settings
using controls in the
Edit Text Instance dialog box (page 1627) when you
insert the text features.
10 For Horizontal Alignment, Vertical Alignment, and Rotation, leave the
"HORIZONTAL_ALIGNMENT", "VERTICAL_ALIGNMENT", and
"ORIENTATION" expression values unchanged. These are the names of
properties in the feature class.
The Delete Expression buttons let you replace the expressions for these
settings for advanced use cases. If necessary, you can modify these values
in the Data Table after you insert the text features.
11 Click OK and close the Style Editor.
Adding Text to a Text Layer
After you have
created the text layer (page 1109) and specified its style settings
