ArcFM Desktop Overview > ArcFM > Map Grid Generator > ArcFM Map Sheet Naming Convention |
ArcFM names map sheets numerically left to right beginning in the bottom left corner. You may add map sheets to an existing grid by using the same Map Grid Name. As map sheets are added, ArcFM assigns numerical values to the Map Sheet Name field.
If you choose to append map sheets to an existing grid, ArcFM will locate all map sheets with the same value in the Map Grid Name field. From that set it will find the highest value in the Map Sheet Name field and add one to begin numbering the new sheets. For example, map sheets added to the grid below would begin their numbering with 10.
However, if you delete a map sheet in the middle of the sequence, they will not be renumbered to reflect the change. For example, if a user were to delete map sheet #5, numbering would look like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9. Map sheets added to this grid would begin with 10.
