Map Series

Question

Hi all, I am working on a map series. I have about 70 different pages within the series, in which I need different extents for each page. However, I can not seem to get the extents to save once I set them. For example, I set the extent, then change pages within the map series, go back, and my extent is gone. Is there a way to fix this? Also, how do I make each page have its individual extent? TIA!

Hi David,

There is no "out-of-the-box" functionality that edits the features of Map Series index layers based on the current extent.

With ArcGIS Pro 2.6 you can create a Map Series based on spatial bookmarks. You can interactively update the extent of a bookmark for a Map Series as much as you would update a bookmark in a Map View. This should simplify some Map Series scenarios.

Is there some functionality in Pro to save the current extent into an index layer?

I would generate a fishnet grid index, or series of centre-points attributed with the desired scale / dynamic elements.

Then use that as the index layer.
