Getting a local copy of a template (Production Mapping)

There may be times when you want to view or edit a template, product, or even a file outside the product library. Getting a local copy allows you to have a copy of the files on a local machine without having an exclusive lock to allow others to make changes to the file. However, any change you make to a local copy of a template or product is not tracked in the product library.

Etapes :

1. Start ArcMap.
2. If necessary, open the Product Library window by clicking Customize > Production > Product Library on the main menu.

   A tree view of the product library appears.
3. If necessary, expand Product Library and Products.
4. Navigate to the class or series from which you want to get a local copy.
5. Right-click the class or series and click one of the following:
   • Get Local Copy Class Template
   • Get Local Copy Series Template

   The get local copy dialog box appears.

   If you have previously browsed to a directory, the dialog box contains the path you specified. If you have not browsed to a directory before, the dialog box is blank.

6. Click the ellipsis (...) next to the Output Location field.

   The Browse For Folder dialog box appears.

7. Navigate to the directory where you want to save the local copy.
8. Click OK.

   The get local copy dialog box appears with the path you defined.

9. If template instructions exist and were set, and you want to use them, click Options.

   A dialog box appears with a list of template instructions.

10. Check the box next to the template instructions that you want to apply.
    • Data Frame Rules: Allow products to have their data frame settings, such as scale, extent, coordinate system, and rotation, updated based on a product's associated instance.
    • Layout Rules: Enable a product map document’s layout size and orientation and the relative placement of elements on that layout to react to changes that happen on dynamic cartographic products.
    • Python Scripts: Allow custom business logic to be executed on a product. A single Python file can be saved as part of a template instruction.
11. Cliquez sur OK.
12. If you want to open the file, check the Open check box.
13. Click OK.

    The getting local copy dialog box appears with the progress.

14. Click OK when the process completes.
