Abstract


Paper
Developing Custom ArcMap Symbology Using Group Layers and Styles Files
Track: Cartography and Map Production
Author(s): Geoffrey Baldwin, Mark Dodich

A very powerful feature of ArcMap is the ability to maintain cartographic standards through the development of custom symbology. The advent of 8.x brings new capabilities to map production by introducing features that every user needs to become familiar with: group layers and style files. This paper discusses how group layer files are utilized to create custom map symbology so that maps of any scale are automatically rendered with the appropriate features. AAA's new TourBook map production methodology will be addressed to illustrate how these techniques have been successfully implemented.
