Creating Map Books in ArcGIS
Copyright 2013 - John Schaeffer
Data Driven Pages – A method to create a series of layout pages from a single map.

Map Book– A collection of layout pages, title page, overview/location map, and other documents such as reports.
Organized and compiled using ArcPy.Mapping

Mapping and ArcPY
ArcGIS 10 includes a new implementation of Python, using the ArcPy module.
arcpy.mapping – has many functions to automate map creation and editing layouts.
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\GIS\TownCenter_2009.mxd")for textElement in arcpy.mapping.ListElements(mxd, "Text"):
if textElement.text == "GIS Services Division 2009": textElement.text = "GIS Services Division 2010"
arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd, r"C:\GIS\TownCenterUpdate_2010.pdf")del mxd

Data Driven Pages – Key Elements
Detail Data Frame - the Data Frame with the data

Data Driven Pages – Key Elements
Index Layer - a feature layer that determines the extent of each page.
Can be any existing feature layer, including polygon, line, or point layer.
New Map grid can be created using the Grid Index Features or Strip Map Index Features tool in the Data Driven Pages toolset.

Data Driven Pages – Key Elements
Name Field - Used to name each page.
Sort Field - sets the order of pages for printing.
Page Number - can start with any number, does not need to be sequential.
Page Index - Not necessarily same as page number.

Data Driven Pages – ArcToolbox Toolset
Calculate Adjacent Fields – calculates the North, Northeast, South, etc. pages.
- 10.0 must be regular grid with adjacent polygons.

Data Driven Pages – ArcToolbox Toolset
Calculate Central Meridian and Parallels
- Calculates Coordinate System, Central Meridian, and Parallels
Calculate UTM Zone
- Calculates UTM zone and Coordinate System
Calculate Grid Convergence Angle
- Calculates angle from true north

Data Driven Pages – Page Setup Definition
Enable DD Pages
Data Frame
Index Layer
Name Field
Sort Field
Rotation
Spatial Reference
Page Number
Starting Page

Data Driven Pages – Page Setup Extent
How much space to set around each page
Scale

Data Driven Pages – Process
Create or set an index feature layer and add the appropriate fields
Calculate fields for page numbers, names, central meridian, rotation, scale etc.
Enable Data Driven Pages from the Data Driven Pages Toolbar or from Page and Print setup.
Set Data Driven Pages properties and extent.
Best to have separate MXD for creating a map series.

Data Driven Pages – Process
Design the layout; might be different than for a single layout.
Dynamic Elements - Extent, Scale Bar, Map Scale, North Arrow, Page Name, Page Number, dynamic text, etc.
Static Elements – Size and orientation of layout page and data frame(s), static text, Neatlines

Data Driven Pages – Process
Adding Dynamic Text
Editing to add other text elements – preStr = “Page “, emptyStr = “”, postStr

Data Driven Pages – Exporting Map Books
Can export as single pages or a multi-page document.

Data Driven Pages – Creating Map Books with ArcPy
ArcPy can create an Adobe document and then append documents as needed. Can also be used for map books with different right and left pages.
