Stored Displays, Page Templates and Map Production


Using standard ArcFM techniques for highly professional cartographic map production ArcFM™ UT is able to:

Stored Displays allow you to change a large number of parameters in one step, so that you can switch between different views for different purposes.

Page Templates define and store standard map page elements to retrieve later for ArcMap sessions. A page template defines the size, orientation and map elements for a standard map. Similar to a template for a word document that defines the styles and format, a template saves time and repetition by storing elements used on every map. Within a Page Template the Inset Frames tool allows you to display specific features within your current view individually in separate windows. Once created, you can use a page template alone to create an ad-hoc plot, or in conjunction with another application such as Map Production.

Map Production allows users to create map books and map sets. Map books act like folders or containers. They hold and organize map sets. Map sets contain map and plotting information. The user creates map sets to precisely define the layers, scale, and map elements for each desired plot. Working in conjunction with Page Templates, Stored Displays, and Documents, Map Production lets you preview, schedule, export, save, and manage the map books you define.
