Subject: Re: [gislist] Multiple views, one symbol set

As long as each map is pulling from the same centralized data sources be
it Geodatabases or Shapefiles, then you should only have to make edits
one time to either the spatial or attribute data. The edits will them
be shown on all maps that reference that data. Symbology and labels are
different. Those are localized to the Map Document. However you can
create a Layer File (lyr) that will save those settings as well and
allow you to use them in multiple maps.

Subject: [gislist] Multiple views, one symbol set


Hello! I need some advice for working with ArcMap 9.

I am making a set of presentation maps that involve several schools in a
city (Baltimore, FYI). There will be an overall map of the city and
then one map that zooms into each school and the surrounding area,
approx. 10 maps total.

These maps will be data-intensive: Lots of layers, many different types
of symbols.

Normally, I either create multiple data frames in one document, or
several documents with a different view each. This way I can keep the
extent and layout just how I like it in case I need to come back for
edits.

I am anticipating a lot of edit requests this time and I am wondering if
there is a way to avoid making the same changes 10 times.

Is there a way to link multiple views or frames to the same set of data
so that if I make changes to the "master" document, the symbols across
all the maps will change?

Thanks,

Mara Kaminowitz
