ConvertAutomaticToManualLabels()

Summary

Converts all the automatic labels on all layers and sets in a map into manual labels, i.e., text annotations at the same location and size.

 

Changes

Syntax

ConvertAutomaticToManualLabels(string map_name)

 

Argument	Contents
map_name	Map whose automatic labels should be converted; if null, the current map

 

Notes

• This conversion allows labels to be generated with automatic placement and de-cluttering logic, then converted to annotations for minor size or placement modification before printing or placing in a layout.
