Arcgis Data Driven Pages was added after Version\u00a010.0. It will create the Map Book. Before version 10.0 we have to depend on third-party script. On any type of map book it is important to display Locator Map or also known as Key Map. Locator Map provides reference<\/strong> when it is hard to locate the location of the detailed map (Main Map). It is also used to display the current map area<\/strong> on the main map.<\/p>\n

I am assuming you know little bit about Data Driven Pages. For more about the Data Driven Pages visit, Creating Data Driven Pages<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am using ArcGIS 10.3 for this tutorial and below image is the output.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tutorial is divided into two section:<\/p>\n

a. Designing Data Driven Pages<\/b><\/p>\n

b. Data Driven Pages Locator Map<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/h2>\n

a. Designing Data Driven Pages<\/b>:<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

 <\/p>\n

1.<\/span><\/strong> Add Data Driven Pages toolbar from Customize > Toolbars > Data Driven Pages<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Data<\/a><\/p>\n

2.<\/span><\/strong> Setup the Data Driven Pages, window will open after you click on the toolbar<\/p>\n

\"Data<\/a><\/p>\n

3<\/strong>.<\/span> Enable Data Driven Pages check box, Select the right Data frame <\/b>(by default activated dataframe is selected). Select your data driving layers, for this exercise City <\/b>and field to drive \u201cNAME\u201d. <\/strong>Leave other fields with default value. <\/strong>Highlighted red on below image are the important field to fill up.<\/p>\n

\"Data<\/a><\/p>\n

4.<\/span><\/strong> Now go to the Extent<\/b> Tab and select the default value\u201d Center and Maintain Current Scale<\/b>\u201d. You can select Best fit <\/b>or Data Driven Scale<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\"Data<\/a><\/p>\n

5.<\/span><\/strong> Design your Layout<\/a> and press Next<\/b> button to see the map look.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Data<\/a><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

b. Data Driven Pages Locator Map:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

1.<\/span><\/strong> Now add the new dataframe, Locator Map<\/strong>. Add City and Continents layer to it. Our target is to show highlighted city in the continent layer.<\/p>\n

\"Data<\/a><\/p>\n

2.<\/span><\/strong> Open the Properties<\/b> of the City layer, then Definition Query > Page Definition. <\/b>Check the Enable <\/b>button and select the same field used for the Data Driven Pages on above step which was NAME<\/b> field. Also check the Match<\/b> field which means it will match with the data driven pages value and off all other city Names. Finally press Ok <\/b>and OK <\/b>again to bring back to map.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"data<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong><\/span> Output Image<\/p>\n

\"Output<\/a><\/p>\n

4.<\/strong><\/span> You can export the images to one pdf file or to individual file. Data driven pages works only for PDF format. Go to File > Export Map<\/b>. Select Save as type: PDF <\/b>and then go to Pages. <\/b>For this tutorial I am exporting all individual map in one pdf file.<\/p>\n
