Getting a local copy of a template or product

There may be times when you want to view or edit a template, product, or even a file outside product library. Getting a local copy allows you to have a copy of the files on a local machine without having an exclusive lock to allow others to make changes to the file. However, any change you make to a local copy of a template or product is not tracked in product library.

步骤:

1. Start ArcMap.
   提示:

   If the ArcMap - Getting Started dialog box appears, you can open a new or existing map document. You can also check the Do not show this dialog box in the future check box and click Open.

2. If necessary, open the Product Library window by clicking Customize > Production > Product Library on the main menu.

   A tree view of the product library appears.
3. Navigate to the class, series, or product from which you want to get a local copy.
4. Right-click the class, series, or product and click
   • Get Local Copy Class Template
   • Get Local Copy Series Template
   • Get Local Copy Product

   The Get Local Copy dialog box appears. If you have previously browsed to a directory, the dialog box contains the path you specified. If you have not browsed to a directory before, the dialog box is blank.

5. Click the ellipsis (...) next to the Output Location field.

   The Browse For Folder dialog box appears.

6. Navigate to the directory where you want to save the local copy.
7. Click OK.

   The Get Local Copy dialog box appears with the path you defined.

8. If template instructions exist and were set, and you want to use them, click the Options button.

   A dialog box appears with a list of template instructions.

9. Check the box next to the template instructions that you want to apply to the template or product.
   • Python Scripts: Allow custom business logic to be executed on product. A single python file can be saved as part of a template instruction.
   • Layout Rules: Enable a product map document’s layout size and orientation and the relative placement of elements on that layout to react to changes that happen on dynamic cartographic products.
   • Data Frame Rules: Allow products to have their data frame settings, such as scale, extent, coordinate system, and rotation, updated based on a product's associated instance.
10. Click OK.
11. If you want to open the file, check the Open check box.
12. Click OK.
