Data Driven Pages vs Map Series

Question

I work with a lot of data that has the same extent.  In Arc Map I am able to use Data Driven Pages to view different features that are all in the same feature class and similar extent.  I use this quit frequently with geologic layers and cross sections.  For example, I have x number of cross sections.  Each cross section is identified by a cross section number. All of the data (stratigraphy lines, wells ...) references that number to be viewed.  So if all my x section lines are in one feature class I don't need to see all of the x section lines at once but just, for example. cross section #1. There doesn't seem to be this capability in ArcPro.

Thanks Tom,

Is there a  way to ask for this feature in ArcPro?  We use it quite extensively for our geological units and cross sections and modeling.  I would say that 99% of our work at the survey is with databases in map view and not layouts.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Jacque,

There is no option to use a map series to "scroll" through spatial extents and apply page definition queries within a map view. Map series was designed to work in the context of a layout page.  It was not designed to be used in conjunction with a map view.
