Can't print graticules in a custom Layout Template with the ExportWebMap task?

[QuinWong]

Hi,

  Does anyone know how to get the graticules in a custom Layout Template to print with the Export Web Map task?

  This is what I did:

    Create Graticule Layout Template:

    1) I made a copy of "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\Templates\ExportWebMapTemplates\Letter ANSI A Landscape.mxd" & renamed it to "Letter ANSI A Landscape with Graticules.mxd"

    2) In "Table of Contents", I right-clicked "Layers" and selected "Properties" to open "Data Frame Properties"

    3) Under "Coordinate System", I chose my coordinate system

    4) Under the "Grids" tab, I clicked "New Grid" and made a new graticule using the "Grids and Graticules Wizard".  It seems to appear under "Layout View" (as long as you don't skip step 3)

    Run Export Web Map tool:

    5) In the "Catalog" tool, I opened "Toolboxes" > "System Toolboxes" > "Server Tools" > "Printing" > "Export Web Map"

    6) In the "Export Web Map" dialogue, I chose "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\Templates\ExportWebMapTemplates" as the "Layout Templates Folder".  I also chose "Letter ANSI A Landscape with Graticules" as the "Layout Template"

    7) I clicked OK to run the "Export Web Map" tool

    Publish the Printing Service:

    😎 I opened "Geoprocessing" > "Results" window, expanded "Current Session" and right-clicked "Export Web Map".  I then clicked "Share As" > "Geoprocessing Service"

    9) I successfully published the service, setting the "Execution Mode" to "Synchronous" under "Parameters" when editing the service.

    However, when I try to use the Export Web Map task, setting the "Layout Template" parameter to "Letter ANSI A Landscape with Graticules", it prints the web map along with the date and the scale bar but it doesn't print the graticules!

    I have tried converting the graticule to graphics during step 4 but it still doesn't display the graticules.

    What am I doing wrong here?  Is this a bug?

Er, nevermind, it does work.  Just make sure you save the MXD before Step 5.
