Cannot orient layout frame grid labels properly on rotated frame.

Hi,

I am trying to create a map series following a linear feature, with each page rotating to a set value.

This has worked fine, however previously in Arcmap I would have all of the grid labels on the X axis oriented horizontally and those on the Y axis oriented Vertically (to maximize space for the data frame).

In ArcGIS Pro this option seems to be related to whether the label is on an E,W,N or S grid line , rather than top,bottom,left or right axis ... and as such seems to be producing odd results, that I cannot rectify:

Ideally, as in ArcMap, i would want these labeled to automatically be oriented in line with the frame border ... not the same as the other labels of the same oriented grid-lines.

I don't think that coverting to graphics is an option as I assume this will not work with a map series.

If anyone has any ideas on this, they would be greatly appreciated !

Loz.

I just noticed this issue as well. It almost forced me back into ArcMap, but I ultimately just had to cut the graticules.

Yes, it is a bit frustrating. I'm not really in a position where I can remove the girds entirely. I presume you haven't found a solution to this since your message ?

Thanks

As of ver 2.2.2 this still seems to be an issue ? Has anyone found a solution yet ?

Thanks

Hi Lawrence,

At version 2.2 you can further customize grid and graticule label visibility as you see fit. In order to do what you are looking to do you will need to define your edges and specify the label orientation for each direction for each edge. You may want to consider creating a grid style once you have what you want in case you want to reuse this for other similarly rotated maps.

For a similar GeoNet discussion please see Gradicule Labels and Tick Marks in ArcGIS 2.2. Here is the help topic that should provide additional information - Add and modify graticules—Layouts | ArcGIS Desktop.

Hope this helps,

Tom

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the response. I think this allows me to produce something similar to what I had before (although not identical) .. but certainly means I can produce something fit for using, prior to what I had managed before !

Thanks again
