Labeling vector layers

- Labeling features on your layer…can be done using a column in the data.…For example, you can label road names…using the "Road Name" column in the SQL Server Database.…In this case, we're going to label the buildings.…If you scroll down in your buildings layer,…you will see a label inside of your scale range.…Double click on "Label".…Check "Display Feature Labels", and choose "Height".…Click "OK", and we'll preview those heights.…The first thing you'll notice…is that the labels are quite big.…If we zoom in, there is a lot of zeros.…

So let's correct some of these issues.…Before we go any further,…lets make sure that the scale is set…to something more appropriate, like 1 - 10,000.…So under "Scale Range",…lets set this "Max Scale" to 10,000.…The next step is to change the height.…Now, if we go into the label,…you'll notice that the Size context is "Device Space",…meaning, pixels on the screen.…Let's change that to "Map Space",…which means, "On the Ground".…So I'm gonna choose "Feet",…and make my text 8 feet on the ground.…
