Available with Production Mapping license.
The Production Mapping toolbox provides a collection of tools that can be used to perform various data and cartographic production tasks. The data production tasks include replication and extraction with distributed geodatabases, and mapping features to other schemas.
For cartographic production, you can use tools from the Cartographic Data toolset to create bands from features or rasters as well as calculate elevation figures and feature extents. The Symbology toolset can be used to manage the way data is viewed in the map in terms of symbology as well as the spatial reference and layers in the map.
| Toolset | Description |
|---|---|
Cartographic data provides the foundation of production mapping and visualization. Tools in this toolset allow you to perform advanced cartographic data manipulation like creating polygon features from contour lines and generating maximum elevation values within a grid cell. | |
The Cartographic Editing toolset contains tools that allow you to manage content across map documents. | |
The Conversion toolset contains tools that convert data between formats used by ArcGIS Mapping and Charting solutions products. Specifically, this toolset contains functionality that moves and imports data for visualization and makes your maps accessible over the web. | |
This toolset provides tools used to replicate or extract data. Both tools can use a selected feature to define an area of interest to replicate or extract. | |
The editing toolset allows you to apply bulk editing to all (or selected) features in a feature class. Sometimes data is captured or digitized with an inadequate precision or imported from other sources that introduce inaccuracies in the data. The tools in the Editing toolset are designed to help address data quality issues. | |
This toolset provides tools to generalize data for different geometry types. | |
The Product Library toolset contains tools to create, upgrade, and manage files and items in a product library. | |
The Surround Elements toolset contains a tool to create a map index in a page layout. | |
The Symbology toolset contains tools to help manage visualization specifications. Visual specifications help you specify symbology by defining rules that control representations and labels. Visual specifications enhance productivity by allowing you to batch apply representations and label expressions to feature layers. | |
The Utilities toolset contains tools that allow you to modify geometric networks. Once modified, attributes can be updated based on a tracing task and a feature layer selected to update other layers in the network. |
