Adding a feature layer as dynamic text using the value of a specified field

The feature layer dynamic text option allows you to select an attribute from any of the layers loaded into your map document. The attribute values can be spatially queried to limit the returned values.

Features in the feature layer are selected spatially. This allows you to return information for any layer that spatially coincides with either the current extent of the data frame, the map sheet area of interest (AOI), the map sheet AOI extent, or the current extent's centroid.

A feature layer attribute can be selected for dynamic text by one of two methods, including the option of using the value of a specified field.

注意:

If you have overlapping map sheet AOI features, it may be necessary to use a dynamic definition query to limit the AOIs that appear in your map sheet to limit what is displayed on the current map sheet. For example, if you only want the Name field for the current AOI and there is another AOI that overlaps it, the spatial query will return both names. If you set a definition query so that only the current AOI is in your map sheet, then only the current Name will be returned.
