This second expression (see code block below) is used to populate another new attribute column called “Label”, which will ultimately be used to generate the final formatted label layer. Next, Steve creates a second set of expressions that will further adjust his Road_suffix attribute column to substitute any street name prefixes (North, East, South, West) with their corresponding short-form (N, E, S, W). Steve identifies the attribute column that contains the text street names and will use this to build out a new attribute column to create his labels.ĮNDSWITH(name, “ Street“),SUBSTITUTE( name, “Street”, “St”),ĮNDSWITH(name, “ Drive“),SUBSTITUTE( name, “Drive”, “Dr”),ĮNDSWITH(name, “ Road“),SUBSTITUTE( name, “Road”, “Rd”),ĮNDSWITH(name, “ Court“),SUBSTITUTE( name, “Court”, “Ct”),ĮNDSWITH(name, “ Way“),SUBSTITUTE( name, “Way”, “Wy”),ĮNDSWITH(name, “ Lane“),SUBSTITUTE( name, “Lane”, “La”),ĮNDSWITH(name, “ Route“),SUBSTITUTE( name, “Route”, “Rt”),ĮNDSWITH(name, “ Boulevard“),SUBSTITUTE( name, “Boulevard”, “Blvd”),ĮNDSWITH(name, “ Turnpike“),SUBSTITUTE( name, “Turnpike”, “Tpke”),ĮNDSWITH(name, “ Avenue“),SUBSTITUTE( name, “Avenue”, “Ave”),ĮNDSWITH(name, “ Place“),SUBSTITUTE( name, “Place”, “Pl”),ĮNDSWITH(name, “ Circle“),SUBSTITUTE( name, “Court”, “Cr”),ĮNDSWITH(name, “ Highway“),SUBSTITUTE( name, “Highway”, “Hwy”),ĮNDSWITH(name, “ Expressway“),SUBSTITUTE( name, “Expressway”, “Exp”) The first step is to open the MAP attribute table, which displays all the attribute information contained within a specific map layer.

For large projects, especially those dealing with hundreds or even thousands of map features, manual editing would be very time-consuming.įor a more efficient approach, Steve shows how you can use the Expression Builder to easily modify large selections of attribute values. For smaller projects, this can be done by manually editing the individual attribute values directly within the MAP Attribute panel. This typically involves changing street prefixes and suffixes to a condensed short form (i.e “North Cherry Boulevard” becomes “N Cherry Blvd”). When labeling streets, cartographers often spend time correcting, or even generating brand new attribute information that can be used to create more concise, effective street labels. Nowhere else is this problem more common than when dealing with street names and road network data. In many cases, cartographers need to spend time reformatting or editing attribute information before they can generate labels, a process that can become quite time-consuming. Since labels are typically generated by displaying text values contained in an attribute column, it is important that attributes are not only accurate but are also formatted in a way that is optimized for display on a map.
But before you can start labeling, you must have high-quality, accurate attribute information for your map data. With powerful tools such as LabelPro, labeling is only a matter of selecting the data you want to label, and configuring a robust set of rules that control how each label is placed and styled. With MAPublisher, labeling your maps is a breeze. Label efficiently using Attribute Expression Builderīy Steve Spindler (video notes by the Avenza team) The Avenza team has produced video notes (below) to help you follow along. Steve has produced a short video to demonstrate how he uses the expression builder to quickly edit street names. Steve is here to show you a quick tip for using the attribute expression builder within MAPublisher to quickly perform batch edits of labels. Joining us once again is Steve Spindler, a longtime MAPublisher user, and expert cartographer.
