Part 1: Creating a feature-linked annotation feature class for the Streets feature class

1. Start ArcCatalog.
2. Right click on the Transportation feature dataset and select New | Feature Class.
3. In the first tab of the creating new feature class dialog, set a name Waterline_Anno and alias Waterline Annotations, select Annotation Features in the type of features box, check the Link the annotation to the following feature class, select the Water_line feature class, gdb2016.jb3379.Water_line, in the drop-down list, leave everything else at their default, and click Next.
4. In the second tab, specify a reference scale 1:1000 and check the Require symbol to be selected from the symbol table checkbox.
   
5. The third tab allows you to create classes (subtypes) in the new annotation feature class.  It is the most complex step in configuring a new annotation feature class.

   Use the procedure below to configure the default class (subtype):

   1. Select the PIPE_FUNCT field in the attribute table of the related feature class (Water_line) from which the new annotation feature class will draw text to annotate features.
   2. Use the New button to create the following new annotation classes (subtypes):
      
      

      		Annotation Class (subtype)
      Parameter		Transmission	Water main	Fire lateral	Service lateral
      Label field		PIPE_FUNCT	PIPE_FUNCT	PIPE_FUNCT	PIPE_FUNCT
      Font		Arial	Arial	Arial	Arial
      Size		10 pt, Bold	8 pt, Italic	6 pt	6 pt
      Color		Cretan Blue	Ultra Blue	Dark Navy	Dark Navy
      Placement		Street Placement	Street Placement	Street Placement	Street Placement
      Stack label		Off	Off	Off	Off
      Offset		3 points	2 points	1 point	1 point
      Scale Range...	Zoom out beyond	1:100,000	1:50,000	1:10,000	1:10,000
      	Zoom in beyond	1:1,000	1:500	1:250	1:250

      
      
   3. Click NEXT, NEXT, and FINISH to complete the new annotation feature class.

Now we use ArcMap to populate it with annotation symbols.

1. Register the Utilities feature dataset as versioned (if it's not versioned). While registering, unlike in previous labs, you'll check on the ... move edits to base option (if the option is available). Close ArcCatalog.
2. Open ArcMap, load the Utilities feature dataset and the Waterline_anno feature class into the map, and zoom the map to 1:1000 by entering the value in the scale box in the toolbar.
3. Start an edit session to edit the Waterline_anno feature class.
4. Use Select by Attributes to select all Transmission subtypes (PIPE_FUNCT=10) from the Water_line feature class.
5. In the Table of Contents (TOC), make sure only the Water_line layer is highlighted, right click on it, and choose Selection | Annotate Selected Features. In the pop-up dialog box, uncheck the checkboxes ahead of all annotation classes except the Transmission subtype and click OK, as in the snapshot below. ArcMap will annotate the selected features using the predefined symbols for this class.
   
   
   
6. Wait until ArcMap finishes annotating, clear selections, then pan around the map, looking for errors. Capture screenshots of one for the word document.
7. Repeat steps 4 thru 6 to annotate the other subtypes.
