Data frame rules define a data frame's extent, size, scale, rotation, and coordinate system. You can configure data frame rules and apply them to a single data frame. You can save data frame rules to an .xml file. This enables reuse and standardization of rules across your organization. For example, you could use data frame rules to enforce standardized settings for basemaps.
