@jCarlson please keep me in the loop. We have future plans to create a Map Book tool (vs map series). map books could include the contents of a map series PLUS all the other components that go into making a final map book project, like title pages, TOCs, index pages, etc. Currently arcpy.mp is the only solution for what I'm calling a map book. Some advanced solutions are possible. Working with your scenario can help us drive requirements. Jeff

Thomas, Concerning ArcMap equivalency, did you know you could also tile to PDF in Pro? Did you try the following? I'm still interested in your non-spatial data. Again, feel free to email me. Jeff

Hello JCarlson, Thank you for your feedback and idea. I'm with Esri and work on both the Layout and Python Map Automation (arcpy.mp) teams. I'd like some more information about how the non-spatial page is being generated. Can you successfully create the page(s) in ArcGIS Pro on a layout? Also, your comment about Python in option #4 - " no way the spatial component will look half as nice as Pro ". Python can be used to automate the creation of multi-page output but the content is authored in Pro. So that means you can get the output quality the Pro but arcpy.mp can be used to automate the creation of multiple pages stitched together into one resulting PDF. ArcGIS Pro also supports Reports. I'm not sure if you tried using Reports for your non-spatial pages. If you were able to get the formatting you want, then you could use layouts for your spatial part and reports for your non-spatial pages AND python to combine everything into one product. There is much more I can add but I don't want to complicate anything until I better understand how you generate the non-spatial page. Feel free to respond here or contact me via jbarrette@esri.com.

Does the workaround mentioned above help you? We are currently testing a local fix and hope to include it in a 2.7 service pack. Jeff Layout and arcpy.mp teams

Damian, Our graphics team just confirmed that this is by design. Simulate Overpost produces something similar to Output As Image - i.e., georef info is lost. We will update the bug, the documentation and I will also suggest that the georef option be disabled if Simulate Overpost is checked on. Jeff - Layout/arcpy.mp team

Thank you for reporting this Damian. I reproduced with your exact settings. I unchecked Simulate Overpost and my PDF opened in Avenza Maps just fine. Please try turning that option off can confirm. I hope that is an acceptable workaround until we address the issue. Jeff - Layout/arcpy.mp teams

Hello Dean, I was able to reproduce. I created a 2.5 project, added a feature class AND a stand alone table. I set up a map series on the feature class and then set up the page query on the table/tableframe. Only the filtered records displayed in the table frame. I opened the same project in 2.7 and all records were showing. This is a regression and can hopefully address it as a service pack with very high priority (once we identify how it was broken). As possible work around: Can you join the index layer with your stand alone table, then set the properties of the table frame to ONLY show 'Map series rows'? This produces the same effect. In my simple example, I had State_Polygons joined to Counties_Table (one to many). Jeff - Layout / arcpy.mp Teams (and former ORMAP participant)

If you are familiar with Python you could try an arcpy.mp sample that is available. At Pro 2.8 we hope to expand our API to include time capabilities but in the meantime you can modify time using the CIM. The caveat is time must already be set up on the map and layer. You can use a script to change the time window before exporting each page in the series. The sample can be found here: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=8772f61319584882bb697ba003030636 The specific script is called Temporal Map Series. Jeff - arcpy.mp and Layout Teams

For out-of-the-box Map Series, one way to accomplish this is to manually add a "Rotation" field and set each index feature's rotation accordingly. You could start by setting all rows = 0 but then only change the rotation value for each feature that needs to be rotated. Map Series supports a rotation field that would use the rotation value for each feature. Similar for extent. You could add a scale field for each feature to control the extent. I don't even think using Python to automate extent and rotation would add much benefit because you would still need to apply logic for each index feature. Having rotation and scale fields should do the trick. Jeff - Layout Team.

Thank you for your submission CWH! To clarify, do you want to delete map views or maps? A map view is simply a view window in the application for viewing the contents of a map. A map is a project item that is viewable in a map view (window). We have future plans to be able to manage project items like maps, layout, folder connections, etc. Not only would I like to delete a map (or layout) from a project, but I may also want to duplicate (i.e., copy/paste) one with arcpy.mp as a starting point for automation purposes. Please confirm map or mapview Jeff - arcpy.mp Team
