William We recommend full administrator permissions to the install locations for both ArcGIS & Python (and by default Defense Mapping). Many geoprocessing tools access various files in these locations. If you have restricted access to the C-drive, then you may want to consider installing to a separate drive. Regards, Bo

You can save the Representations in a Style file... Modifying and saving symbols http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//00s60000000s000000

Hi Holly You may want to take a look at the Production Mapping Topo50K grid XML to examine the settings used for geographic coordinates. Another tip is to use a new feature data set every so often when designing a grid XML. This will prevent an overabundance of features each type you click Create. If you need need further assistance you could re-post this question in the Esri Production Mapping forum. Regards, Bo

If you don't already have a vector logo, you can try this... Converting raster logos to graphics http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#/Converting_raster_logos_to_graphics/01060000030q000000/

When using Representation Symbology, the Load Rule function on the Symbology tab of the Layer Properties should transfer the Rule Name from the Style File. Currently the Rules are loaded with generic names (Rule_1, Rule_2, etc).

Draw invisible representations with Representation Rule symbol Currently the “Draw invisible representations” display option uses generic symbol shapes as the default for all features. These default symbols are ineffective for meaningful cartographic production and QC. Ideally this option should display the actual representation shape for each feature. See the screenshot below of the desired invisible display. The option to set the default color for invisible features should be maintained. Thanks for your consideration.

Make Grids GP should help. http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/An_overview_of_the_Grids_and_Graticules_toolset/00700000002v000000/

Hi Noel I believe the text Leading is measured in units, not percentage. The units default is points, as shown in the upper right hand corner of the text Editor window. Note that changing the units, will convert all measurements in the Editor, so if you have specific text sizes designated in points, I would stick to the default points unit.

Further research reveals that the TerraGo Toolbar (ver.6.0.0) will read Esri embedded MGRS coordinates from a PDF exported from ArcMap. I probably should have tried this yesterday. C'est la vie. When exporting a PDF from ArcMap, simply check the "Export Map Georeference Information" on the Advanced tab of the Export Map window. Then in Adobe, both the geographic and MGRS coordinates will be displayed using the TerraGo Toolbar. TerraGo Toolbar (Free Download) http://www.terragotech.com TerraGo Toolbar Functionality Matrix http://www.terragotech.com/terrago-toolbar-functionality-matrix Note that the "Geospatial PDF" is a conventional PDF, with geospatial info, created with the ArcMap exporter. The "GeoPDF" is a PDF created using the TerraGo Publisher for ArcGIS. I was pretty excited to discover this extended functionality that is a result of the TerraGo-Esri partnership.

Currently the georeference information saved inside the PDF file appears to contain only latitude and longitude info. It would be nice to be able to read MGRS coordinates from the PDF when the map is georeferenced to a UTM coordinate system. Obviously, Esri and Adobe would have to collaborate in order for the Adobe Geospatial Location Tool to be able to display both geographic and MGRS coordinates.

Currently, if you Add Data and the Feature Classes have Representations applied, then the Layer Properties default to Representations symbology. Although this is probably the most commonly desired function, it would be nice to have the option to have the Layers default to standard "Features" symbology. This was the default at version 9.3.1. Certainly you are able to manually change the symbology in the Layer Properties, however this can be quite cumbersome with a large number of layers. This option could be added as an unchecked box to the ArcMap Options, on the General tab (General settings), as: "Add Data with Representations using standard symbology". Alternatively, the option could be added to the ArcMap Advanced Settings Utility, on the TOC/Data tab (Working with data).

"Nudging representations and annotation" is available with Esri Production Mapping 10.1. You can move, or nudge, cartographic features like representations and annotations by a distance of 10 pixels. The Nudge Representation or Annotation tools allow you to move features to the right, left, top, or bottom. Nudging a representation creates a shape override.
