This section shows you how to create export namer objects, which allow users to customize the naming convention used for exported objects and objects printed to file in Map Production.

In ArcFM’s Map Production options, you may select an export namer object in the File Export Naming Object field.

For example, the Export Namer may add "oid_" and the value in the OID field for the map grid. When implemented, this functionality may be used with the Map Production tool. The user can select the custom export namer from the File Export Naming Object field on the Maps tab.

When the map set is exported or printed to file, the user is prompted to enter a file name. This is used as the core file name, and will be modified based on the export name object supplied.

The custom Export Namer updates the user-defined base file name. In this case, it adds "oid_" and the OID value.

The export namer objects have an IMMNamer interface and are registered with ArcMap’s component categories, there is no limit on the number of IMMNamer objects the user can register with ArcMap.
