I am using data driven pages with an additional data frame serving as an extent indicator. The data driven pages index layer is a polygon layer made of sub-county level insets. The extent indicator data frame is set to show only the county relevant to the primary data frame�??s inset. The problem is: the extent indicator data frame doesn�??t change its scale. Is the extent indicator data frame capable of zooming to the active polygon? The primary data frame does�?�
Thank you David for posting the solution, this is exactly what I was looking for as well. This information really should be included in the help section. I realize a lot of people could have figured this out, but I'm no expert in GIS, just a long time user. I simply didn't make the connection between the extent indicator I was making and the extent tab in Data Frame Properties.
I just wishd that when deriving the extent from another data frame's extent, that a fix scale was an option.
