Viewing a Map Book

When you open a map containing one or more map books, none of the map

books is current until you select one. When you select a map book, you

automatically zoom to its extents and see the tile outlines. If the map book is

based on a display map, you will see the stylization associated with that display

map.

Viewing Map Book or Tile Properties

You can view basic properties about map books or tiles. In the Map Book

Properties dialog box

(page 1830), you can view the map’s name, scale,

orientation, coordinate system, and number of tiles. In the

Tile Properties

dialog box

(page 1831), you can view a tile’s name and the numbers of its

adjacent tiles.

NOTE The map book properties are strings, for use as field values in sheets. They

do not change the actual properties of the map book.
