Flashing the map sheet area of interest

This function flashes the area of interest feature used to define the selected map sheet. The area of interest feature will be flashed without the calculated extent from the data frame manager, so it will flash the extent of the feature only. This will leave a black outline around the flashed extent. This is intentional so that you can see the extent after the flash. The line will disappear if you refresh your view.

Steps:
  1. Start ArcMap.
  2. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > MPS Atlas.
  3. Click the MPS Atlas window button MPS Atlas window on the MPS Atlas toolbar.

    The MPS Atlas window appears.

  4. Right-click the current map sheet and click Flash Current Map Sheet Area of Interest.

    The area of interest for the current map sheet flashes for the current map sheet.
