It sounds like you may be running into a known issue (BUG-000143921). When the map frame has both a grid and an an extent indicator Pro is only registering the first property change made for the grid in the Element pane. We have addressed this issue in the upcoming 3.1 release. In the meantime, removing the extent indicator should allow you to toggle the visibility, or make other changes to the grid. Once you are finished add the extent indicator. Another workaround is to force the Element pane to "refresh" by selecting the Extent indicator in the Contents Pane right after making a change to the grid. 1. In the Contents pane right-click the grid and click Properties (this open the Element pane) 2. In the Element pane change the visibility of 1 side 3. In the Contents pane select the Extent Indicator (this "refreshes" the pane) 4. Select the grid 5. Make the next change Hope this helps, Tom

Hi Ryan, There is no one "best" way to add a "Title". It all depends on what you want to do. There are 2 basic graphic text element types: Straight text elements (and curved text) and polygon text elements (rectangle, circle,. etc..). The help topic Add graphics, text, and pictures in a layout provides more info. If you are not interested in the text wrapping into new lines (within the bounding box that you initially drew when inserting the legend) I would use straight text and just create a graphic rectangle for the "box".

Hi Ryan, Its disabled because it is not a valid setting given the context. I provided a link in the previous post (10-20-2022 06:13 AM) that explains this situation. Are you able to access this post? If so, do you have any specific question concerning the explanation? Tom

Hi Rene, Unfortunately there is no out-of-the-box functionality that provides "additional" pages to a Map Series. I think you might be able to use python (ArcPy.mp) to create the map book you want. Here is a link to the Map Series/ArcPy help topic - MapSeries. Here is a link to the Python Map Automation group where you can find some samples - Python Map Automation. Hope this helps, Tom

Hi @RenePretorius Unfortunately, there is no option in the UI to change the values of legend classes based on the current page of a map series (and current extent of the map). Tom

MohdZukhairiAbdLatef, When you create a map series you have the option to set map properties such as rotation and spatial reference. In order to do this you need to have fields in the index layer that are appropriate. This information is provided in the help topic I mentioned (and linked to) above. Do you have a specific question? Tom

Hi @MohdZukhairiAbdLatef, @Hala_Abdelmaksoud is correct that Map Series works with a single layout. You state that you are using a standard map template in UTM Zone. Is this template a Layout file (.pagx)? If so, I believe you may still be able to use Map Series since the template is based on a single layout page. Map Series can be used to update the spatial reference (UTM zone) of the map. You can use different spatial references for different pages in the map series based on a field in the index layer. For more information see Spatial Reference sub section under Optional Fields section in the help topic Create a spatial map series. You can also use the geoprocessing tool Calculate UTM Zone in the Cartography toolbox to create the UTM zone field. An important thing to keep in mind when using a Map Series to change spatial reference and other map properties (ex: rotation, map clipping) is that these updates made for the current Map Series page are also applied to the map and will be present when viewing the map in a Map View. If this an issue with your workflow you may want to consider Tasks as Hala suggests. Hope this helps, Tom

Hi DucksInaRiver, No, the issue you are describing is not unique to the system, but may be "unique" how the image has been inserted. For example, was the image selected in the Insert Picture dialog with a single click or with a double click. There is a known issue with double clicking the image file in the Insert Picture dialog browser - see BUG-000151431. We are hoping to fix this for the next release (3.1). There have also been issues with copy/paste, but it does not look like that is part of your scenario. If you are double-clicking try a single click to select the image file in the browser and then click the ok button on the Insert Picture dialog. Hopefully this will help you work around the issue. If this does not work for you then there is another unknown variable causing problems. In this case it is important to contact support. They are better equipped to handle troubleshooting steps and gather bug data if needed. They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support. I know it is frustrating. We try to cover as many variables as we can think of as we test. But unfortunately, we miss some. Hope this helps, Tom

Hi Illkallers1, I can repro the inconsistent commands/results in the Contents pane (TOC) using Pro version 3.0. However, I cannot reproduce the original issue of leader lines being disabled. I agree with @AubriOtis that it is likely that your map frame got into a weird state. I would agree that this is a bug. Unfortunately, it may be specific to your data/project/workflow. Are you able to reproduce the disabled leader with a new project/map frame/layout? Can you contact Esri Support? They are better equipped to handle troubleshooting steps and gather bug data. They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support. Thanks, Tom

Hi Brandon, Sorry you are running into this issue. I was able to reproduce a PDF output with the wrong picture - the picture should have been blank - for a map series page where the picture element source was an attachment using ArcGIS Pro version 3.0.3. Unfortunately this is a bug in Pro 3.0. It should be addressed in the Pro 3.1 release. In the meantime, you can work around the issue by exporting via the Python window instead of the export pane. You can learn more about exporting a map series via Python here https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/mapping/mapseries-class.htm. Here is a sample script you can paste in the Python window to export all layouts in a project to PDF. ##Export Map Series to PDF aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT") lyt = aprx.listLayouts()[0] ms = lyt.mapSeries ms.exportToPDF(f"C:\Temp\{lyt.name}.pdf", "ALL", resolution=300) print("Done") Hope this helps!

Hi Josh, I have run into issues where the map series page is "out of sync" and is displaying the map in unexpected ways. I don't think I've run into the exact scenario you describe, but I'm not really surprised. When you activate the map frame you are changing the application context from Layout to Map - as you can see in the ribbon. The map frame becomes a "mini map view". Changing these context after making changes in one or both of the contexts can result in some issues. We consider this behavior a bug and would like to fix this. If you can please contact Esri Support. They are better equipped to handle troubleshooting steps and gather bug data. They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support. The good news is this synchronization problem can usually be rectified by refreshing the map series. You've seen this by changing the current map series page. You can also refresh the entire map series. Closing the project and reopening is a last resort and hopefully something you do not have to do to often and hopefully not at all. Thanks for the feedback! Tom

Hi TownofSandwichGISTechnician, I think this can be done using the Bookmark Map Series option. However, you'll need to overcome a few obstacles. I don't think you will be able to only display features "outside" the range. I think you'll need to work with all the features of copied layer. Because of this I don't think you will be able to get the results you want using labels. You will need to use annotation feature classes/layers. Just like you made a copy of the centerlines, make a copy of the annotation feature class (from the layer's labels). Make sure that the annotation feature class also has the number field and the corresponding values so that it's layer can also work with the range slider. Add this as a layer and make a copy. You should have 2 sets of centerline and annotation layers. The original and the copy. Their feature geometries should match exactly so that when you place the originals on top of the copies in the Contents pane you only see the original features. ONLY enable range for the original layers. This way the features/annotation within the range will overlap the copied features/annotation giving the impression that the copied features/annotation within are filtered out. They aren't, they are still drawing, but because the original layers are drawing on top I think you can get the visuals that you want. For the Bookmark Map Series I would highly recommend that you create the bookmarks from the layout view since the it might be difficult to match the aspect ratio (height/width) of the map frame on the layout with a map view. In order to use the range slider from the layout view you will need to activate the map frame for each bookmark. 1. Activate map frame 2. Adjust range slider 3. Close map frame 4. Create bookmark Repeat 1-4 as needed Hope this helps, Tom

Hi Matt, You can account for "0"s by setting either padDecimal or zeroPad = "True". I think this is what you're looking for. Please see Work with grid label tags for more information and samples. Hope this helps, Tom

Hi Laura, Can you provide details? Perhaps screenshots of the map frame (I'm assuming that this is what is meant by "card frame") and the properties of the dynamic text element (what field is being used). It is possible that you are conducting a count on a field where one of the features that has a null value. It is also possible that you are running into a bug. Without actually seeing your data I would only be guessing at why you are not getting the result you expect. Can you contact Esri Support? They are better equipped to handle troubleshooting steps and gather bug data. They can be contacted at https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support. Thanks, Tom
