The data used here are field collected photo points with attributes for photo ID and photo bearing in the […]

To add a leader […]

If you’ve rotated these features manually and want to used them to control page rotation in data driven pages, you’ll need a field containing the page rotation value. This layer already has an angle field that I’m going to use to demonstrate how […]
