Exporting maps with the Atlas command

Using the Atlas command, you can export the layout for the map document, as well as map sheets from map series in a single map document. You can choose to export map sheets from the first series in the map document or a range of map sheets within the series.

NotaNota:

The default export format is PDF. See Defining exporter options with the Atlas command for more information about export options.

Exporting the layout

With the Atlas command, you can choose to export only the layout for a particular map document. This includes all the elements in the layout at the time it is exported.

The syntax for exporting the map layout is as follows:

Syntax for exporting the map layout

Atlas /export:layout /mxd:<map document path>

Pasos:
  1. Open the command prompt by doing the following:
    1. Click the Start button and click Run.
    2. Type cmd in the Open text box.
    3. Click OK.
  2. Change the prompt to the location where the Atlas command is located: 
    cd C:\Program Files\ESRIProductionMapping\Desktop10.0\Bin
  3. Type Atlas /export:layout /mxd:<map document path>, where the map document path is the local path to the map document that contains the page layout you want to export.

    For example:

    Atlas /export:layout /mxd:"C:\Documents and Settings\Test\Desktop\Doc70.mxd"
  4. Press ENTER.

Exporting a single map sheet from the first map series in the map document

The Atlas command allows you to export a single map sheet from the very first map series in a single map document. This means that if you have multiple map series in the same document, only the specified map sheet in the first map series is going to be exported.

The syntax for exporting a single map sheet is as follows:

Syntax for exporting a map sheet from the first map series in a map document

Atlas /export:<map sheet number>-<same map sheet number> /mxd:<map document path>
Pasos:
  1. Open the command prompt by doing the following:
    1. Click the Start button and click Run.
    2. Type cmd in the Open text box.
    3. Click OK.
  2. Change the prompt to the location where the Atlas command is located: 
    cd C:\Program Files\ESRIProductionMapping\Desktop10.0\Bin
  3. Type Atlas /export:<map sheet number>-<same map sheet number> /mxd:<map document path>, where the map sheet number is the number that corresponds to the map sheet you want to export and the map document path is the local path to the map document that contains the map sheet you want to export.

    For example:

    Atlas /export:2-2 /mxd:"C:\Documents and Settings\Test\Desktop\Doc70.mxd"
    NotaNota:

    This example exports the second map sheet in the first map series of the map document.

  4. Press ENTER.

Exporting all map sheets from a map series specified by name

The Atlas command can be used to export all the map sheets in a map series that is specified by name. This means the Atlas command exports the map sheets within the map series whose name you have specified.

The syntax for exporting all map sheets from a map series is as follows:

Syntax for exporting all map sheets in the specified map series

Atlas /export:<map series name>:all /mxd:<map document path>
Pasos:
  1. Open the command prompt by doing the following:
    1. Click the Start button, then click Run.
    2. Type cmd in the Open text box.
    3. Click OK.
  2. Change the prompt to the location where the Atlas command is located: 
    cd C:\Program Files\ESRIProductionMapping\Desktop10.0\Bin
  3. Type Atlas /export:<map series name>:all /mxd:<map document path>, where the map series name is the name of the map series that contains the map sheets you want to export and the map document path is the local path to the map document that contains the series with the map sheets you want to export.

    For example:

    Atlas /export:"Map Series 2":all /mxd:"C:\Documents and Settings\Test\Desktop\Doc70.mxd"
  4. Press ENTER.

Exporting a range of map sheets from a map series specified by name

When you only want to export certain map sheets from a map series, you can specify the name of the map series and the starting and ending numbers for the map sheets you want to export. The Atlas command only exports the range of map sheets you specify in the map series you specify.

The syntax for exporting a range of map sheets in a map series is as follows:

Syntax for exporting a range of map sheets from a map series

Atlas /export:<map series name>:StartingNumber-EndingNumber /mxd:<map document path>
Pasos:
  1. Open the command prompt by doing the following:
    1. Click the Start button and click Run.
    2. Type cmd in the Open text box.
    3. Click OK.
  2. Change the prompt to the location where the Atlas command is located: 
    cd C:\Program Files\ESRIProductionMapping\Desktop10.0\Bin
  3. Type Atlas /export:<map series name>:StartingNumber-EndingNumber /mxd:<map document path>, where the map series name is the name of the map series, StartingNumber and EndingNumber are the starting and ending sheet numbers in the range of map sheets, and the map document path is the local path to the map document that contains the series with the map sheets you want to export.

    In the example below, map sheets 3–7 are going to be exported from map series 2

    Atlas /export:"Map Series 2":3-7 /mxd:"C:\Documents and Settings\Test\Desktop\Doc70.mxd"
  4. Press ENTER.

Exporting a range of map sheets from a map series specified by number

The Atlas command can be used to export map sheets within a specified series by indicating a page range. Both the map series and map sheets are defined by numbers. The map series is indicated by a number that corresponds with its order in the map document. The page numbers match the order of the map sheets in the map series, so the third map sheet in the series would be considered page 3 and the seventh page 7.

The syntax for exporting a range of map sheets from a map series is as follows:

Syntax for exporting a range of map sheets from a map series

Atlas /export: map series number:<StartingNumber>-<EndingNumber> /mxd:<map document path>
Pasos:
  1. Open the command prompt by doing the following:
    1. Click the Start button and click Run.
    2. Type cmd in the Open text box.
    3. Click OK.
  2. Change the prompt to the location where the Atlas command is located: 
    cd C:\Program Files\ESRIProductionMapping\Desktop10.0\Bin
  3. Type Atlas /export: map series number:<StartingNumber>-<EndingNumber> /mxd:<map document path>, where the map series number is the number of the map series that contains the sheets you want to export and StartingNumber and EndingNumber are the starting and ending sheet numbers in the range of map sheets. The map document path is the local path to the map document that contains the series with the map sheets you want to export.

    In the example below, map sheets 3–7 are going to be exported from map series 2:

    Atlas /export:2:3-7 /mxd:"C:\Documents and Settings\Test\Desktop\Doc70.mxd"
  4. Press ENTER.

Exporting a range of map sheets from the first map series in the map document

When you do not specify the name or identification number of a map series, the Atlas command automatically uses the first map series in the map document. Similar to other methods for exporting map sheets, you can specify a range to export. The starting and ending numbers correspond to the order of the page numbers in the map series.

Syntax for exporting a range of map sheets from the first series in a map document is as follows:

Syntax for exporting a range of map sheets from the first series in a map document

Atlas /export:<StartingNumber>-<EndingNumber> /mxd:<map document path>
Pasos:
  1. Open the command prompt by doing the following:
    1. Click the Start button and click Run.
    2. Type cmd in the Open text box.
    3. Click OK.
  2. Change the prompt to the location where the Atlas command is located: 
    cd C:\Program Files\ESRIProductionMapping\Desktop10.0\Bin
  3. Type Atlas /export:<StartingNumber>-<EndingNumber> /mxd:<map document path>, where StartingNumber and EndingNumber are the starting and ending sheet numbers in the range of map sheets. The map document path is the local path to the map document that contains the series with the map sheets you want to export.

    In the example below, map sheets 3–7 are being exported from the first map series in the Doc70 map document:

    Atlas /export:3-7 /mxd:"C:\Documents and Settings\Test\Desktop\Doc70.mxd"
  4. Press ENTER.

Exporting all map sheets in all map series

As needed, you can use the Atlas command to export all the map sheets from all the map series contained in the map document.

Syntax for exporting all the map sheets from all map series is as follows:

Syntax for exporting all maps sheets from 

Atlas /export:all /mxd:<map document path>
Pasos:
  1. Open the command prompt by doing the following:
    1. Click the Start button and click Run.
    2. Type cmd in the Open text box.
    3. Click OK.
  2. Change the prompt to the location where the Atlas command is located: 
    cd C:\Program Files\ESRIProductionMapping\Desktop10.0\Bin
  3. Type Atlas /export:all /mxd:<map document path>, where the map document path is the local path to the map document that contains the series and map sheets you want to export.

    In the example below, all the map sheets are going to be exported from the Doc70 map document:

    Atlas /export:all /mxd:"C:\Documents and Settings\Test\Desktop\Doc70.mxd"
  4. Press ENTER.
    5. NotaNota:

    Leaving the option blank exports all the map sheets in all map series, the same result as using the all option, as in the following example: 

    Atlas /export: /mxd:"C:\Documents and Settings\Test\Desktop\Doc70.mxd"

    In addition, when leaving the option blank to export all map series and map sheets, the colon after /export is optional.
