The following enhancements have been made to the grid object in the Python site package.

Grid designer

The Grids and Graticules Designer can now identify a grid component by selecting a grid feature in ArcMap. Previously, you could only select features in the Grids and Graticules Designer window and see the related features loaded from the database in the current map document. Now you can select features in the map document and see the related grid components in the Grids and Graticules Designer window.

Production PDF

Separation settings (InRIP settings) can now be explicitly added or removed from the Production PDF setting file and from the PDF export file itself.

Cartographic editing

New tools have been added that allow you to view and hide invisible representations and unplaced annotation.

The Hide Invisible Representation And Annotation tool hides invisible representations and unplaced annotation so they are not visible in the map.
