Data Frame disappears when enabling Data Driven Pages

RandyKreuziger — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 23:07:55 GMT

I'm in the process of upgrading a series of 9.3 MXDs to 10.0. They used DS Map Book so I'm deleting the DS Map Book text from the map then enabling Data Driven Pages. When I do that the data frame disappears off the map. I even tried saving it as a 10.0 document before doing the enabling but that didn't help.

When you enable Data Driven Pages and the data frame goes off the map, is it the data frame object that physically moves off the map or is the data extent changing to an area where there are no visible layers. Can you click the Next Page button or type in a page to get to an extent with features.

Please send me a map package to jbarrette@esri.com

Thanks,
Jeff

Got that wrong. Data frame is there but the data extent is way off. It turned out to be a problem with the data frame clipping setting. By changing it to No Clip the data extent fixed itself.
