Hello everyone,
I cannot get the Map Frame in a layout to behave with dynamic constraints the way I would expect. I hope I am just missing something because I feel this behavior is odd for a layout set to specific page/print size.
I have a map of leaks which is updated bi-weekly and printed (don't get me started on this, it is what it is for now). The map frame should be 10.5x8in for printing. The leak locations change and I would like the map display to center on and zoom to display all the leaks as the layer changes. When I set the display options to Constraint; Fixed Extent; and select my layer it does what I want but it also resizes the window/map frame dimensions. Is there any way to stop it from changing the frame? I do not understand why the behavior would be to change the dimensions of the window when typically a layout needs to have a specific size.
I have tried leaving the constraint to None and using the location setting set to the layer which does what I want but does not have a buffer. I know I can activate the map and zoom to the layer however it seemed like odd behavior to change the frame size so I figure I have something set incorrectly. I have also created a model for this so my user can just change the date range and viola a new print report is ready, however this is throwing a tiny wrench in that automated process.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
