Dear reader,

I have created and overlay Grid with the Grids and Graticules Wizard in the Layout View.

Looks great now, but I want to use that Grid to do some indexing on my Streets and Places feature layers.

Like:

Street 1 C14

Street 2 K25

Place A B4

etc

But I do not see and could not find any solution.

What am I missing?

Should I convert my overlay Grid?

Should I use other functionallity?

Combining Grid Index Features and the grid from the Grids and Graticules Wizard is not really an option....?

Thanks for your time and reply in advance 😉

There is an old blog here that explains a method of doing that, maybe it helps: https://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2007/11/08/creating-street-name-indexes/ 

... and this one: Creating Place Name Indexes for Map Books | ArcGIS Blog
