Tiles with Easting/Northing as label

Hi Experts,

Do you know of a way to generate array of tiles in spec size - but labeled according to their Easting Northing?

Thank you

Hi J(?),

If you use graticules the corners of the "cells" can be found at the border of the map. If you want to labels to show on the cell itself, I guess you would have to create the fishnet (physical layer) and label it. If you can visualize it a little more, I might be able to give you some pointers.

Kind regards, Xander

You're welcome!

Wow,

Xander

Sorry for a little delay in response and massive, MASSIVE thank you for your expertise!

In that case the Fishnet would be the way to go.

In the Fishnet dialog, specify your lower left corner (rounded coordinates, which should be multiples of the cell size) at "Fishnet Origin Coordinate".

At "Y-axis coordinate" specify your upper left corner (I assume you don't have rotation)

At Cell Size With and Height specify the size of your cell

At Number of Rows specify the number of cells you want vertically and at number of Columns specify the number of cells you want horizontally.

Select polygons as output geometry.

This creates featureclass of the cell polygons. Now labeling is a different aspect. The fishnet created (and optional labels) don't have any additional information on the cell coordinates. However you can add this information through the FieldCalculator:

Add a new text field
Calculate the Field (right click on column header)
Specify the following information:

This will fill the newly added field with the text "(X value, Y value)". Labels the featureclass with this field.

You can add an label expression to add additional text:

"Upper left (E, N):" & vbnewline & [labels]

This will create a label like:

Upper left (E, N):

(X value, Y value)

The only point is, that the label will be centered in the cell.

Kind regards, Xander

Hi J(?),

Kind regards, Xander

Just noticed...

This NET is created based on the number of lines... do you know whether it can be converted into cells? I am bascially looking for a way to cover a specific area with number of regular cells/bin...

Thanks

Hi Xander,

Really sorry for late response - and thanks for your time AND KNOWLEDGE

May I ask one more.... is it possible to label these cells with coordinates of their corner?

Thanks in advance,

XanderBakker

If you physically want to create a featureclass with tiles of specific size you can use the option:

Create Fishnet (Data Management)

If the purpose is to show this on the map layout, you can make use of a grid or a graticule
