<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hello,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thank you everyone for your help. I was able to get road shields to display. I do have a couple follow up questions:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">First,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In the legend, the shield covers up the US Highway line. Is there a way to remove the shield from the legend, or make it the shield smaller on the legend than it is on the map?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Second,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I would like the roads to be labeled several times alternating between the street name and road shield. For example, the road shield should be placed at positions 0, 500, 1000 and the road name should be placed
at positions 250, 750, 1250. I know that I could use REPEATDISTANCE to repeat the labels every 500 pixels, but is there something similar to INITIALGAP that will place the road name at an 250 pixel offset along the line?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I should mention that I was able to cheat by text every 250 pixels, and the shield every 500 pixels. This works because the text does not draw at positions 0, 500, 1000 because of the label conflict with the
road shield, however I was wondering if there is a cleaner way to alternate labels between the street name and road shield.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
