Validating grid components

Mit der Production Mapping-Lizenz verfügbar.

The Validate command performs logical checks against a grid or selected grid component. Errors found by validate appear in a dialog box. You can double-click an item in the dialog box to display the component's properties and fix the error. Unfixed errors appear with red icons in the Grids and Graticules Designer window. For example, if annotation in a grid produces errors during validation, it appears with a red A in the Grids and Graticules Designer window.

1. Start ArcMap.
2. Load data in the map if necessary.
3. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Production Cartography.
4. Click the Grids and Graticules Designer window button on the Production Cartography toolbar.

   The Grids and Graticules Designer window appears.

5. Create a new grid or click the Open button to load a grid XML into the Grids and Graticules Designer window.
