Creating and editing annotation
In this recipe, you will convert your high-quality, dynamic labels created with Maplex Label Engine into a geodatabase annotation feature class. A geodatabase annotation feature class is another type of feature class stored in a feature dataset inside the geodatabase. There are two types of annotation feature classes:
Not feature-linked annotation feature class (standard)
They are stored as independent pieces of text
Only if text has been derived from the attributes of a feature, annotations are not tied to the attribute value (if the attribute value is changed, the text is not updated)
If you move or erase a feature, the annotation will remain the same
Feature-linked annotation feature class
They are generated based on feature attributes
It is a composite relationship class with 1-M cardinality between a feature class as the origin table and an annotation feature class as the destination table, using the OBJECTID field as the primary key and the FeatureID field...
