I'm sure it exists, but is there a way to set a point layer to have no symbology. This works best for cities as you just want to display the name, and not necessarily show the location. The way I do it now, is by picking a symbol and making the fill and outline to have "no color"

Setting to "no color" works. Area there any issues with this technique? – Jakub Sisak GeoGraphics Nov 10 '10 at 13:55

That's how I do it. – Jay Cummins Nov 10 '10 at 13:56

3What's wrong with your current method? I guess it feels a little hacky but if we complained about all the hacky things ArcGIS makes us do we'd never get anything done. – Derek Swingley Nov 10 '10 at 15:29

Go to the Layer Properties dialog Symbology tab and click on the Symbol. On the Symbol Selector dialog click Properties.
Then uncheck the symbol on the layers list at the left.
Click ok until you close all the dialogs.

So it's similar to my method, just with a different symbol, does the size need to be adjusted to zero? – dassouki Nov 10 '10 at 14:10

No you just uncheck it, then no symbol will be displayed for the layer. – Zachary Nov 10 '10 at 14:22

Then you just save this to your styles and you always have it available to you. – Chad Cooper Nov 10 '10 at 20:22

Another option would be to assign layer display transparency to 100 percent.
