dynamic maps with pictures?

GerritKopmann — Thu, 27 Dec 2018 10:14:08 GMT

Hi, I am hoping I ask my question at the right place.

How can I insert (dynamic) pictures of civil engineering constructive works into dynamic maps in ArcGIS?

I created maps with a general map, a site map, dynamic text for the civil engineering constructive works on rivers. Now I like to insert at least one picture at every map as well.

I know, I have to create a database that includes a link to the pictures (new File-Geodatabase, new Feature-Class (Point), and so on). No Problem. Why can I only insert one picture (raster) with this method and not more?

Hope someone is working over Christmas.

Cheers

Hi Bo

Thanks for your help. I created already a data file for the pictures. I like to insert one or more pictures from the data file at the map as well. Is this possible with ArcGIS Basic?

Cheers
