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     ... View more

Hi Probert68,  I think you can get the result you want by increasing the X and Y gap of your legend element background. Based on your screenshot it looks like you've got the legend element's anchor in the center. Some background info that you may find useful... The legend bounding box, or frame, represents the potential maximum space for the legend. When you draw a box to insert the legend you are specifying to maximum space on the layout for the legend to grow if you add layers or, if you have enabled Feature Display Options for new classes to appear in the legend.  The border and background is designed to fit the current space of the legend. In the screenshot below I've highlighted the "potential" space for the legend to grow based on the box I "drew" to insert the legend. The only fitting strategy where the legend element's border and background will always match legend frame is "Adjust frame". Hope this helps,  Tom ... View more

Hi Claudia,  Thanks for the screenshot. It looks like you are trying to use the options available from the "burger" button at the top right of the pane. These settings ONLY affect how coordinates are displayed in the pane. They do not affect how graticule/grid labels are displayed on the layout page. Label formatting is done by the use of tags in the Format text box under the Appearance group. The example below shows units to be "dms" (degrees, minutes, seconds). In order to display the labels in Degree Decimal Minutes the units must be "ddm". Here is an example. I entered the follwoing: <dyn type="grid" units="ddm" showZeroMinutes="true" zeroPad="true" decimalPlaces="1" directionSeparator = " "/> Here is my result: Note: Word wrap is another pane-specific property and has no bearing on the display of labels on the layout. The help topic Work with grid label tags provides a more in depth explanation along with a number of examples that you can use.  Hope this helps, Tom   ... View more
