Associating map documents with templates

获得 Production Mapping 许可后可用。

When product classes and series are created in the product library, map documents are also created for them by default. The map documents automatically created at the product class and series levels are intended to be used as templates. By default, the ArcMap document associated with a product class or series is named after the product assigned to the respective level.

However, there can be occasions where you have already set up a document that you want to associate with a product class or series. For instance, a blank .mxd file is created when you add the JOG product class, but you may already have an existing .mxd file that could be used as the template.

1. 启动 ArcMap。
2. If necessary, open the Product Library window by clicking Customize > Production > Product Library on the main menu.

3. Expand Product Library and Products.
