I have an annotation feature. I can see its annotation classes when I drag-and-drop the feature from ArcCatalog to ArcMap. But I can't see the annotation classes when I add the annotation feature using ArcPy. I can't even see Annotation tab in the layer properties dialog. The layer doesn't look like Annotation at all (it looks like simple geometry feature), but Layer Properties>Source>Feature Type says the layer is "Annotation".
How can I add the annotation layer properly in Arcpy?
My environment: ArcGIS 10.1 / Windows XP 32 bit
My codes are:
Attachment 22088
The first layer is an annotation layer added by ArcPy and the second one is added using drag-and-drop from ArcCatalog.
Thanks,
Yongha
