I have shapefile with polygons and lines. There are attributes for: layer, lineweight, colour: Red, colour: Green, colour: Blue. (colour values are from 0-255).

Is there a way to read values from attributes, and assign colour and lineweight to polygons and/or lines? After that I would like to use the save layer option to save symbology.

I'm using ArcMap 10.3.

  • I really don't know why this is still missing. Searching the net, there are so many posts about that topic, so we must believe esri just does not want such a function in arcmap. – Andreas Müller Feb 13 '16 at 13:37

    This would only be possible using ArcObjects. I have never seen anyone post code for it. The layer properties dialog and Python cannot do this at all. This might be possible using Representations, since it creates a table of these kinds of attributes, but it is going about it backwards. Most likely that would perform badly, since it would be custom symbols for every feature initially. – Richard Fairhurst Feb 13 '16 at 16:36
  • If/when implemented, I think this would be more likely to happen in ArcGIS Pro than ArcMap. – PolyGeo Feb 14 '16 at 22:16
