Using the map sheet area of interest

The Area of Interest tab on the Data Frame Manager Properties dialog box makes it possible to determine what will be considered the area of interest. This is particularly useful for several complex types of overview diagrams. You can either include just the map sheet's area of interest or an intersection of the area of interest with another data layer.
