Adding a new data frame manager

Clicking the Show Data Frame Manager Properties button Show Data Frame Manager Properties on the MPS Atlas toolbar gives you the option to add a new data frame manager. A data frame manager is added to the main data frame associated with each map sheet (this is referred to as the basemap). Data frame managers can also be added to additional data frames in the layout. Additional data frames can be used for dynamic insets, adjoining sheet references, or overview maps. The Data Frame Manager Properties dialog box allows you to define data frame manager properties.
