have you looked at "FGDC Digital Cartographic Standard for Geologic Map Symbolization"? You can download the symbology in an EPS format. Then (with the proper graphics software) you can convert any of the symbols into an EMF format for creating your own symbols in ArcGIS. If you do not have the proper graphics software, the publication gives all of the specs to create the symbols from scratch. http://ngmdb.usgs.gov/fgdc_gds/geolsymstd.php Also, what kind of symbology are you looking for? (point, line, or fills)

Hi, I am trying to use the Medium Scale Topo Template. I have hit a road block with the NHD Flowlines features. You have added three attributes to the various flowlines (FlowClass, LabelClass, and FlowSupClass). How were the classifications derived for these attributes? Normally, I can interpolate these things, but in this case they do not make sense ( maybe it was all those leaded paint chips I ate as a kid). Thank you Chris

Hello, I am using 10 (sp1), info license. I was editing some data this morning. After I completed the editing, I compacted the file geodatabase. After compacting, I was no longer able to access the database, receiving a "Failed to connect to database" message. The description tab states "The item's XML contains errors." This is not an issue of a 9x verses a 10 geodatabase. I created this in 10 and have been successfully storing and accessing data since I created it. Any ideas, thoughts, or suggestions before I recreate it from scratch Chris

Rachel A workaround is to change all of your layers using carto reps to single symbols, then create your legend, then change your layers back to carto reps. The carto reps then display in the legend. I have not had the opportunity "play" with this solution yet. So there may be other issues that develope. But at least it may point you in the right direction . Chris

I too am having this problem. Which really sucks since I went to great lengths to create representations for most of my data. I turned off all layers that have representations and the insert legend works fine. If I then turn on just one layer with reps, no joy. Chris
