3
Need for Map Production

Supported in older ESRI Products
Workstation ArcInfo AMLs
ArcView GIS 3.x
Map Production in ArcMap is Limited
One Map per Document
Bookmarks do not Automate Printing/Exports

4
Defining Map Production

Print Multiple Maps with One Command
Export Multiple Maps with One Command
Automate Redundant Tasks
Support Variations in a Map Series

5
The Three Available Tools

DS Mapbook
Free Developer Sample
Shifts Content of ArcMaps Single Layout
No Assigned Developers
No Changes Planned
Fully Customizable (source code available)
MPS Atlas
NW Mapbook

6
The Three Available Tools

DS Mapbook
MPS Atlas
ArcGIS Extension
Exposes Multiple Layouts
Supported by Full Time Developers
Not Customizable (yet)
Expanded and Enhanced with each Release
NW Mapbook

7
The Three Available Tools

DS Mapbook
MPS Atlas
NW Mapbook
ESRI NWRO Free Sample
Shifts Content of Single Page Layout
Part-Time Assigned Developer
Fully Customizable (Source Code Available)
Changed as projects permit

8
Goals of NW Mapbook

NWRO Repository for Mapbook Enhancements
Catalyst for Future Work
Interim Customization Support
Map Production Requirements Feedback

9
DS Mapbook Features

Attribute Driven Text Elements
Generate New Map Tile Polygons

(Time Permitting)Current Issues

DS Mapbook and NW Mapbook
COM limitations force loss of previous map series
after recompiling application. Aware of a work
around, but no budget allocated to develop the
work around.
Customization currently requires VB6 compiler.
MPS Atlas
Until 9.2 is released, 30 virtual campus
training recommended.
Core ArcGIS Memory problems to be fixed in 9.2
limit 9.1 map series to between 20 and 80 map
sheets.
NW Mapbook
Many enhancement ideas are available, but none
can be implemented outside a billable project.
Examples include
Exporting/Importing map series to/from XML or
Geodatabase repository. This idea would work
around problem of losing map series from
compiling, and would allow loading of map series
between MPS Atlas and NW Mapbook once MPS Atlas
is customizable.
Supporting mouse click resizing of detail insets
(currently must modify inset polygon attributes).
Use feature class or table other than map tile
layer for driving dynamic text elements.
