I am trying to create my own local tile cache using ArcMap and a png file.
The basic approach I am using is as follows:
Create a new map in ArcGIS (.mxd) File->Add Data and add the .png file to the map Using the Georeferencing tool, i select the area i want to rectify add control points in the upper left and lower right select Rectify from the georeference toolbar, then Update Display.
Next I create the tpk file... I right click on the map, �?�Data Frame Properties�?�. Select the �??Data Frame�?� tab. Select �??Specify Extent...�?� button. Make sure �??Current Visible Extent�?� is selected and press OK. Open up the python console and then enter: import arcpy arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/path/to/saved/mxd file" arcpy.CreateMapTilePackage_management('myfile.mxd', "ONLINE", 'myfile.tpk', "PNG8", "10")
If I need to provide more information/steps/clarity to the above let me know. If there is a step by step somewhere out there that I missed, please reply with that.
