Plot Single Map Grid

Map Production also provides the ability to plot a single map grid within a map set. Simply right-click a map set in the Map Book Explorer and select Plot. You may not close ArcMap while plotting. You must save edits before previewing or plotting a map. Only saved edits will be shown.

The Plot window allows the user to select the specific map grid(s) and click a button below to plot, export, print to file or schedule a plot.

Figure 2, Plot dialog allows user to select grid(s)

Plot	Immediately plots the selected map grid(s).
Export	Exports the selected map grid(s) to an image file (e.g., .emf, .cgm, .eps, .ai, .pdf, .bmp, .tif, .jpg, .pcx, .png).
Print to File	Exports the selected map grid(s) to a .prn file.
Schedule Plot	Allows the user to determine when the selected map grid(s) should be plotted. See Schedule Plot.

Designer Note: You must save edits before previewing or plotting a map. Only saved edits will be shown. If you create a map book from a newly-created design, no features will appear in a plot or preview until the design has been saved. A Design Stored Display is created only when the design is saved.
