Upgrading a 9.3.1 grid template to 10

You can upgrade most PLTS for ArcGIS 9.3.1 grid template XMLs to version 10 grid template XMLs. If you have created the template with the 9.3.1 PLTS Grid Designer, you can use the Grids and Graticules Designer in ESRI Production Mapping to upgrade it.

The upgrade allows you to use new tags and modify settings like primary coordinate system, reference scale, rotation, geometry, and representation preferences. If you save these modifications, the Grids and Graticules Designer will upgrade the grid template XML to 10.

メモ:

Grid XMLs created prior to version 10 and configured for two major UTM Zone grids (zipper grids crossing a UTM zone junction) can not be converted to version 10 XMLs. You must recreate the grid XML using coordinate system zones.
