Hello,
On my Application I currently am using two layers to draw my roads. The first
one is a line layer that draws the road itself. The second is a annotation
layer that draws the labels and the road shields. Both layers have the same
source dataset. My concern is that my application is taking a performance hit
since the road file is being read twice.
If there is a performance hit by reading the same data file twice, is there a
way combine the line layer and annotation layer into a single layer that has
both the road symbology, and labels that have shields?
