Adding a map sheet name as dynamic text using an expression

The map sheet name from the current map sheet or a neighboring map sheet can be added to the map sheet using a VBScript expression. Using a VBScript expression allows you increased flexibility in formatting information displayed in a dynamic text.

注意:

The ability to use neighboring map sheets is only effective when their areas of interest (AOIs) are relatively contiguous and regularly-shaped.

手順:

1. Start ArcMap.
2. On the main menu, click Customize → Toolbars → MPS Atlas.
3. Click the Add Dynamic Text button on the MPS Atlas toolbar.

   A crosshair with a letter A appears.

4. Click anywhere in the map sheet layout.

   A piece of dynamic text is inserted on the page.

5. Double-click the dynamic text.

   The Dynamic Text Properties dialog box appears.

6. Click the Dynamic Text tab if necessary.
7. Click the Dynamic Text drop-down arrow and choose Map Sheet.
8. Click Insert.

   A map sheet text appears in the text box.

9. Click the dynamic text element in the text field.

   The Map Sheet Dynamic Text Properties dialog box appears.
10. Click the Expression option.
11. Click Edit Script.

    The Expression Parser dialog box appears.
12. In the Expression area, click to right of the Generate = expression.
13. Double click a field name in the Parameter list.

    In the Expression area, the field name appears to the right of Generate =: Generate = [NAME].

    ヒント:

    The dynamic text displays in the page layout.

注意:

If you change the layer or data frame, the expression will be cleared. A new layer will require a new set of function parameters.
