Feature attribute to graphic text mapping information

The Populate Map Sheet Info tool replaces bracketed text in graphic elements with attribute values from a selected area of interest (AOI) feature. The tool uses the PopMapInfo table to match field names with element parts.

Populating graphic text elements with attribute values

Populate Map Sheet Info scans each graphic element for bracketed ([ ]) text on an ArcMap layout. The tool compares bracketed text to the element parts listed in the following table. If it finds a match, it reads the attribute value from the corresponding field name. It replaces the bracketed text with the attribute value. If no match is found, the tool skips the bracketed text in the element.

Custom Field_Name and Element_Part attributes may be added to the table to allow use of new feature attributes and associated graphic elements. The PopMapInfo table is located within the MapIndex database stored in <install path>\ESRIDefenseMapping\Desktop10.1\ReferenceData.
