I tried a lot, but can't find a solution. I have a polyline feature class in a file geodatabase and want to create several annotations out of it. That means, the non-annotation-feature has already been written.
Writing multiple annotation classes according to the feature's attributes is already possible in my workflow, but they are not feature-linked yet.
It is stated here, that the "geodb_linked_feature_id" attribute connects the feature's Object ID to the ID of the annotations and thereby virtually the two datasets. But what am I supposed to enter in this field? When I choose the OBJECTID attribute of the polyline feature nothing happens.
A second point that confuses me:
If the polyline feature would not be already written, the documentary (here) tells me to use the 'geodb_text_feat_class_name' format attribute to link annotations to the feature. In the example, the annotation class name is entered for this attribute. But what does it help to enter the name of the destination annotation feature class in there? Do i have to set/expose it in the feature's or in the annotation's attributes?
I think I'm quite close to a solution, but somehow sense that I'm overseeing or misconceiving a point.
I'm also aware that there's already a very familiar topic (here). I carefully worked through your suggestsions and there seems to be a way working, but the user is unlikely to respond again, since it is already some months old.
Greets and many thanks in advance,
Andy
