Ned, It sounds like your first step is to define clearly the limits of each city
If you have got a polygon layer with city limits, then you will be able to batch print your maps using Maptitudes Distric Reporting. If you onyl have a point layer with city names, then you need to specify a scale for each city, or create polygons around each layer before . Another option is to obtain city limits information from other sources by aggreagating multiple polygons. The Census Places file or the 5-Digit Zip Code files in the ccdata directory (isntalled by Maptitude) sound like good candidates, but also Census Tracts, CBSA Diviosn. Finally, if you have somethign like a clients layer with city information for eahc city, you shoudl be able to create polygons emcompassing all clients from a same city, or create a DK script to scope maps based on selection sets of clients from the same city. Once you have the city poligons defined, your are on your way to creating a batch job. Good luck. Armando --------------------------------------- Does anyone have experience with creating batch maps for different geographic locations based on a single template? I need to create maps for thousands of cities & towns across the U.S. and would like to expedite the process by getting Maptitude/GISDK to go sequentially through the ccplace2000 layer to create and save the individual maps. Any input or sample macro would be appreciated. Thanks, NH ------------- ------------------------ Yahoo!
