Best way to create maps at different scale levels

NavKa

Hello,

I am trying to create different county level maps which provide same information but will be at different zoom level of different counties depending on zoom level to fit in the county size. Maps will have place labels which need to be adjusted in AdobeIllustrator. I am trying to approach it so that same labels can be used in future maps i was thinking to create separate mxd for all counties so that zoom level and location and dimensions stay same but we can use labels from previous maps. If anybody has any suggestions to handle it more efficiently and faster please share your view points. These will be print quality maps.

Thanks!

Hi Nav,

Yes, that can be done. You will want to set up a Page Definition Query. Check out the article here:

Thanks for your reply after exploring the data driven pages I feel it might be the answer for my issue since it keeps the scale for different features. so for each map there is base layer and then their is additional county specific data which i want to show just for specific county map. Is there any way to select just one feature except by definition query but then u can't really go next on data driven pages since u have only on feature in your section. Is there any work around it. so that only one county is highlighted and themed data is shown just of that one county and rest of the base layer is there for all counties.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Nav,

Have you thought about creating Map Books through the Data Driven Pages toolbar?

This may be able to solve the issue that you have and would allow all of the data to remain in one mxd. You would also need to create some scale dependencies for your labels as well:
