An overview of the Production Mapping toolbox

The Production Mapping toolbox provides a collection of tools that can be used to perform various data and cartographic production tasks. The data production tasks include replication and extraction with distributed geodatabases and the creation of traversal features for linear referencing networks.

For cartographic production, you can use tools from the Cartographic Data toolset to create bands from features or rasters as well as calculate elevation figures and feature extents. The Symbology toolset can be used to manage the way data is viewed in the map in terms of symbology as well as the spatial reference and layers in the map.
