No feature type field exists for this annotation feature class. The feature type has only been included throughout the specification documentation for ease of reference.

Only Annotation associated with, or derived from, entities in feature classes grouped within the Cartography feature dataset should exist within the CartographyAnno feature class.

Wherever possible annotation should be stored using the subclasses indicated under AnnotationClassID. Annotation stored as inline text should be kept to a minimum.

Type for large polygons and long linear features may be held in an annotation feature for each word to allow for spacing and differences in orientation, see Section 2 chapter 4.

Annotation should not contain any HTML tags within the blob element, nor should it contain any special characters.The exception to this rule is the special unicode symbols for the degree and accent signs respectively for the graticule feature and font size HTML tags for map grid values in the bottom left of the map layout. .


Editing and placement of Annotation should be conducted in the appropriate MGA 1994 zone to ensure the spatial position of type on the map face can be correctly represented.

The flow direction arrow will be used for the last chain of watercourses which dissipate and where the direction of flow may be unclear. The flow direction arrow must be coincident with the node at the downstream end of the feature. No direction of flow arrow will be added when the downstream end of a watercourse stops at, or within, a waterbody feature dataset polygon, or where direction of flow can be reasonably determined from the interpretation of the topography.

The flow direction arrow should be orientated so it appears that the stream connects directly through the centre of the arrow symbol (e.g. approximately 30 degrees should exist between each branch of the arrow and the drainage centreline.) See symbol dictionary for example.

Type should be placed such that it does not overprint the graticule. If this is unavoidable then it is preferable that the graticule intersections are kept visible, as these are important reference points on the map.

The Graticule will be masked where black type unavoidably overprints the feature. The break measurement will be 0.2 mm on either side of the type where it crosses the feature. (Note: the feature will be masked only on the map and will be complete in the data.)

The annotation feature class uses the ArcGIS annotation feature type.

Annotation should not contain any HTML tags within the blob element, nor should it contain any special characters. The exception to this rule is the special unicode symbols for the degree and accent signs respectively.

Editing and placement of Annotation should be conducted in the appropriate MGA 1994 zone to ensure the spatial position of type on the map face can be correctly represented.

The Tropic of Capricorn will be labelled 'Tropic of Capricorn' close to the east and west edges of any map on which it occurs.

The Tropic of Capricorn will be masked where black type unavoidably overprints the feature. The break measurement will be 0.2 mm on either side of the type where it crosses the feature. (Note: the feature will be masked only on the map and will be complete in the data.)
