The position of the data frame also remains unaltered. While the data frame's size and extent are updated to accommodate the grid at the correct scale, the page size is not altered. The data frame scaling option is then changed to fixed scale, and the layout view is zoomed to a percentage that allows the entire grid to be viewed. In addition to this, the size of the data frame is then modified to fit the extent of the grid at the specified scale. If they do not match, the data frame is updated. If more than one grid layer is available, then you must select this layer in the ArcMap table of contents.ĭuring this process, the tool verifies whether the current spatial reference of the data frame matches the primary coordinate system of the selected grid. If there is only a single grid layer, then the tool will automatically select it. The tool is not enabled on the Production Cartography toolbar if there is no grid layer on the map. Clips data frame to the grid's specified neatline.Rotates data frame to grid's specified rotation angle.Changes data frame size to grid's extent at specified scale.Changes data frame scale to match the grid's scale.Projects the data frame to the grid's primary coordinate system.The tool makes the following data frame modifications: The tool projects, scales, sizes, and rotates the data frame in layout view so that the grid layer is viewed in the intended projection and scale.

The Grid Layout View tool allows you to look at a grid layer in a current ArcMap session in layout view. Available with Production Mapping license.
