I'm trying to label point features coming from Oracle using Map Manager and I'm getting no response. It works fine with polygons.
Have anyone managed to do that?
Is there a way to label features through Geospatial Administrator?
I'm using Bentley Power Map V8i ss1 08.11.07.97
Hi. I tested this using Powermap 8.11.7.97 and a test Oracle dataset we have here. I did an adhoc connection to Oracle and imported some point features. I was then able to use Labeling to display labels for each feature. I used "by layer" labelling, set color red, weight 3, and used a text string like this: OBJECTID: [OBJECTID] so part is fixed text and part is a field value.
Can you try out a label that contains fixed text, if you're not doing it already ?
Through the Geospatial Administrator you can define annotation subfeatures but these must match a subfeature in your Oracle database, not the same thing as labels. You can define your point class as a point-text in which case you will see a text for each point feature, but I assume you need a point-cell here but still want a separate label on screen so that wouldn't help you.

Hi Martin,
thanks for the advise.
I tried setting up oracle connection using "New oracle connection" and the labelling did work. The problem is that it doesn't work if I go through connection defined in Geospatial administrator ("Open graphical source"), in its workspace. The point feature has cell attached in GSA and don't want to add labels as well.
It works with polygons and lines too.
All right, so I was able to reproduce this issue. IT seems to only happen when using a point-cell definition. I can't get a label to appear in that case, whereas other cases work fine. The good news is that this seems to work fine in Bentley Map SelectSeries 2.
Martin, thanks for the effort!
