Additional Surrounds menu empty (There are no additional surrounds) in Layout view

Matt-Goodman — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 17:53:26 GMT

Hello,

After reading through the pertinent help documentation (https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/3.0/help/production/production-mapping/us-national-grid-reference-box.htm) I still cannot figure out why my "Additional Surrounds" menu is empty. It simply reads: "There are no additional map surrounds".

I have checked/verified:

the layout map's scale is greater than 1:250,000 (it's 1:32,000)
I'm viewing it in 'Layout' view
the layout element and map are not 'locked'
I'm using ArcGIS Pro 3.0

Is there something else I'm missing that I should check?

Hi,

The additional surrounds are available with various Pro extensions, like Production. If you don't have any Pro extensions licensed you won't see additional surrounds.

Thanks @AubriOtis , somehow I missed the fact that this functionality only exists under a licensed extension.
