ReMark Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I suppose the text in each circle will be different right? Is this text something that might be best handled by an attribute? Maybe you want to "extract" it at some point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 How about using Leader - Circle off the Leader Tool Palette? It will prompt for a TAGNUMBER. This can be text as well as numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnoldwanya Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 exactly! i suppose to put number on the center of each circle (eg: 1, 2, 3.....& so on) for data extraction and tag as well. honestly i'm not familiar with the LEADER that you suggest. can i have some little tips/procedures on how to do it, please...tnx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I'm old school so I fail to consistently use Leader - Circle and usually resort to a block I created of a circle with an attribute. When I insert the circle I am prompted for a "callout number". I then type in the number (or even a letter). Later on, if need be, I can extract these attributes to a table or to Excel.
