Adding a new data frame manager

Clicking the Show Data Frame Manager Properties button on the MPS Atlas toolbar gives you the option to add a new data frame manager. A data frame manager is added to the main data frame associated with each map sheet (this is referred to as the basemap). Data frame managers can also be added to additional data frames in the layout. Additional data frames can be used for dynamic insets, adjoining sheet references, or overview maps. The Data Frame Manager Properties dialog box allows you to define data frame manager properties.

手順:

1. Start ArcMap.
2. On the main menu, click Customize → Toolbars → MPS Atlas.
3. Click the Show Data Frame Manager Properties button on the MPS Atlas toolbar.

   The Data Frame Managers dialog box appears.
4. Click Add.

   The Select Data Frame dialog box appears.
5. Click the Select Data Frame to Manage drop-down arrow and choose a data frame to manage.
6. Click OK.

   The Properties dialog box appears.

7. Click the new data frame manager to highlight it.
8. Click Properties.

   The Data Frame Manager Properties dialog box appears.

9. Click the Name tab if necessary and type a meaningful name for the new data frame manager in the text box.

10. Click the Data Frame Manager tab.
11. If you want to clip the data frame to the area of interest, check the Clip To Shape check box.
12. If you want to recenter the map on the area of interest, check the Recenter Map on Area Of Interest check box.
    注意:

    The Recenter Map on Area Of Interest check box is checked by default. If you do not want the AOI to be centered in your data frame as in an overview diagram, for example, you must uncheck this check box.

13. Click the Buffer tab.
14. Follow the steps in one of the following to configure the buffer:
    • Setting up the fixed buffer
    • Using the existing buffer

    • Disabling the rotation calculator
    • Rotating data frame to true north
    • Configuring fixed rotation
    • Defining rotation using a field
17. Click the Spatial Reference tab.
18. Follow the steps in one of the following to configure the data frame's spatial reference:
    • Disabling the spatial reference calculator
