How to get tick marks on the inner edge of a map frame?

Question

I have tick marks for denoting latitude and longitude on the outer edge of a map frame. Does anyone know how to flip these onto the inner edge?

Hi Tom,

Using ArcGIS Pro 3.02

Ticks with

do not align to the map frame as an inside tick when the frame is rotated:

If I untick the "Draw perpendicular to grid edges", the ticks are rotate to follow the grid. This is not a desirable solution as well.

I used offset to get the tic marks of graticule to the inside but still 2 problems-

1) the tic marks are -0.1 offset, and they float offset from the graticule frame

and

2) figuring I could fix this in a pdf or aix, I export the map to pdf or aix format, and the tics show on inside, but the lat long text on the L and top do not get included in the output file, nor does the graticule surrounding rectangle. Again could add these in an Illustrator file, but really- would prefer to have in the export file. In the export dialog, also, I have unchecked the clip to graphics extent.

Hi Zachery,

If you want tick to display along the interior of the map frame specify a negative offset (with the absolute value being the same as the length of the tick).

For example:

Hope this helps,
