Instructions for use
A Map Series is a collection of Map pages that produces a set of output pages by taking a single layout and traversing a set of Map Bounds. For example, Map Series can easily create a series of equally sized pages that cover a town area, based on the Regular Polygon grid layer as an index layer, as shown in the following illustration:

Enable Map Series
Before starting Map Series, you need to insert a map in Layout. The layout size of the map box defines the Display Scale of the map for the series of layout pages. Map Visible Bounds for each page in Map Series: will be centered at the center of the index feature and maintain a constant map scale.
If the user needs to output the layout page strictly according to the grid size, please adjust the layout size of the map box reasonably. For Insert Map Box Select Fill Map, Detail Description , see Draw a map.
- Function Entry:
- Entry 1: Object Operation Tab-& gt Map Series-& gt Map Series Settings ;
- Entry 2: Right click Layout and select Map Series.. in the Context Menu.
By doing so, the Map Series Settings panel pops up, and by checking the Enable check box, Map Series is enabled. Select Cancel This check box disables the Map Series feature.
Parameter Description
- Index Map: To create a Map Series, you will need to select a map from the Index Map drop-down menu. This drop-down menu displays all the map boxes in the layout. Only one map can be selected at a time. The Map Bounds for the map box change for each page in the Map Series. These Map Bounds are driven by the Spatial Range of the features within the indexed layer.
- Index Layer: Defines the Geographic Range of the map frame for each page in Map Series. The index face object in the index layer is used to control or define each page in the Map Series.
< a class = "contentpage hyperlink" href = "CreateGridIndex. HTML" "=" "> Create grid function function, Helps you Create Index layers. By default, the first layer in the map is selected. If you do not want to use this layer as the index layer, select another layer from the drop-down menu.
An index layer can be either grid data or another surface layer in the map. Index Bounds are object-based spatial bounding rectangles when a face layer is selected. For example, you can create a Map Series page using the face layer of an administrative boundary, in which case a page is created for each administrative division.
- Index Field: Map Series traverses the face objects in the index layer, and after each sheet is defined, uses the attribute value from the Index Field as the sheet name. The page name accepts null and duplicate values, but to avoid confusion when working with Map Series pages, it is recommended to use the name Field Settings Index Field where all values are unique.
This drop-down menu displays a list of the fields available in the indexed layer. These include short, long, and text fields. The default field is the first field in Field that uses the text "name". If there is no field in Field that uses "name", the system defaults to the first available valid field. You can choose to use a different field from the drop-down menu.
- Current Page: Default Display is the page name of the first field in the Index Field. You can select the displayed page in the drop-down list to navigate to the corresponding page.
Next, you can add operations such as Dynamic Text and Draw a Map Locator to the Map Series layout.
