Display Multiple Lines of GIS Data Table Text

Hi, I'm trying to import in some GIS shp files and I'm fairly new to using the Task Pane.  I imported the shp file using mapimport and made sure to include the object data.  In Task Pane I added the text style and selected the values I wanted.  My question is how do I display the data from multiple fields of the object data?  If I add several text styles they all seem to overlap as seen below.  ThanksScreenshot 2021-01-08 144530.jpg

You might also look at using annotation templates: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-map-3d/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2020/EN... 

 

What is you end product going to look like? Do you want to use Map to "style" your map, or do you want mtext and other objects that you manipulate as you wish?

OK, gotcha. Pleasant Creek and Lewis Bottoms. Correct?

 

Unfortunately you can't do it the way you're doing it, i.e., adding a Drawing Layer to Map Task Pane=>>Text Style for your label(s). This method only allows one label per polygon so when you add multiple labels, they'll overlap. You know firsthand about this overlap. 

 

Instead of adding of using MAPIMPORT to bring in the parcel shapefile and creating Object Data, connect to the shapefile using a Data Connection. Input the info for your label(s) under the Feature Label column of the Style Editor.

 

1-Add multiline labels using the Style Editor.1-Add multiline labels using the Style Editor.

 

Add the labels for GPN, SitusAddre, and AreaAcres. For your Parcel_Ownership data, you'll want to add SitusAddre instead of OwnerAddre because the former is the parcel's address while the latter is the address where the property tax bill is mailed. If an owner has two parcels and both tax bills are mailed to his residence, then both parcels will have the same address. If the the tax bil lis mailed to a P.O. Box or if it's mailed to an owner who lives out-of-state, then that parcel's address won't be correct. Using SitusAddre will alleviate these types of errors.

 

2-Use the Text function CONCAT. Use '\N' to create multiple lines. Insert commas as shown above.2-Use the Text function CONCAT. Use '\N' to create multiple lines. Insert commas as shown above.

 

You can adjust your text font, text color and text height when you are formatting your labels. If you wish, you can add a text mask or text halo. Your multiline text label will look as shown in image-3 below.

 

3-Multiline labels. Some addresses were not entered by the author when he created the shapefile's database.3-Multiline labels. Some addresses were not entered by the author when he created the shapefile's database.

 

Some addresses are missing. If you're ambitious, you can research the correct address and enter it manually. The missing addresses are not your fault or Map3D's fault. The blame falls squarely on the county which is the shapefile's author.
