Adding map sheets to the map series

When adding map sheets to a map series, you must select the areas of interest (AOIs) you want to use to define the map sheets. Each AOI is used to define the extent of each map sheet. One AOI can be used for a single map sheet, and multiple AOIs can be used to create multiple map sheets. You can select AOIs from a feature layer in a data frame or from a geodatabase feature class. You can also create multiple map sheets over the current visible data frame extent. The AOI data source can be a polygon, point, or line feature class in a geodatabase.

注意:

You cannot use a shapefile for your area of interest data source.

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. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > MPS Atlas.
3. Click the MPS Atlas window button on the MPS Atlas toolbar.

   The MPS Atlas window appears.

4. Right-click the map series and click Add Map Sheets.

   The Properties dialog box appears, where you can select the areas of interest (AOIs) you want to use to define the map sheets.

5. Proceed to one of the following:
   • Choosing the data frame visible extent as the AOI for added map sheets
   • Choosing a feature class as the AOI for added map sheets
   • Choosing a feature layer as the AOI for added map sheets
