Exercise 13.3: Apply Parcel Area labels
▶
If you haven't already
done so, download
and install the files for
Chapter 13 according to
the instructions in the
Introduction.
In this exercise, you'll apply parcel area label styles in a number of ways. For
adjoiner parcels, you'll use them to display ownership information. For the ROW
parcel, you'll remove the area label because it isn't needed. Finally, for individual
lots, you'll apply a style that shows only the lot number.

class data folder.

Click the Adjoiner : 3 label, and then click Parcel Properties on
the ribbon.

Click the Composition tab of the Parcel Properties dialog box. For
Area Selection Label Style, select Existing Description And Area.

Click the Information tab. In the Description box, enter
JOHN
SMITH

shown in Figure 13.4. Click OK, and press Esc to clear the selection.
The appearance and content of the label changes dramatically.
This is a possible format for labeling a parcel that isn't part of the
main project but is adjacent or nearby. It includes the owner's name
plus the deed topic and page where the oficial documentation of the
parcel is recorded. Notice how this label style combines the hand-
entered Description value along with the calculated area value.
Now that there is no
parcel area label, the
only way to select
this parcel is by right-
clicking it in Prospector
and then clicking Select.
This removes the label
from the parcel.
