An overview of the Cartography toolbox
The tools in the Cartography toolbox are designed to produce and refine data to support the production of maps. This includes the creation of annotation and masks, the simplification of features and reduction of their density, the refinement and management of symbolized features, the creation of grids and graticules, and the management of data-driven pages for layout.

Description |
---|---|
The Annotation toolset contains a collection of tools that allow you to automate your annotation workflow. |
|
Contains tools to enrich representation symbology by adjusting the alignment and arrangement of symbols and creating bridge and tunnel features |
|
Contains tools that create and prepare an index layer for use in data driven pages. The features of an index layer are used to define the extents of multiple pages. One page of output is generated for each feature extent. |
|
Contains tools that simplify or refine features for display at smaller scales. |
|
Contains tools to detect and resolve graphic conflicts among symbolized features |
|
Contains tools to manage and maintain grids and graticules layers |
|
Contains tools to create masks to enhance cartographic display by obscuring conflicting feature symbology |
|
Contains tools to manage feature class representations and representation overrides |
