Making space between line features on different scales using ArcGIS Pro

Question

I have a feature class layer where linear features will often be digitised close to each other. These lines are all features in the same layer.

Example when zoomed in:

Problem when zooming out to export wider map:

When I zoom out, the 3 line symbols overlap each other.I want the lines to retain a decent thickness but not battle each other for space. I want them to automatically detect they are close to each other and line up side by side, or spaced out a bit for clarity. Like:

I've seen solutions to solve this problem on QGIS, but my project is on ArcGIS Pro.

Any solution?

Answer 1

It depends on your intention with your map. The fact you are zooming in/out would suggest to me that you intend to use this map only in the GIS software. Paper maps can't zoom in/out, well not at least the last time I looked.

If you are wanting your symbology to move as you change scale, then typically one would create duplicate layers and have them turn on/off as you change map scale. These are properties of the layer.

But you are also asking to move them so you can interpret the data better. I would explore in ArcGIS Pro the ability to offset your symbology from the underlining geometry, it Is a property of the symbol.

With a combination of off-setting and layer visibility thresholds you should achieve something close to what you want.
