Specify the border label distance from the grid border using the Place Labels off cell by setting-a negative value places labels inside the grid. The position is relative to the top-left corner of the grid. The Row order and Column order settings set the border labels in ascending or descending order. To swap the border alpha and numeric border label positions, choose either Alpha on left/right, numeric on top/bottom or Numeric on left/right, alpha on top/bottom. When the mouse hovers over label indicators or label options, a green highlight appears to indicate its relation. In the label placement control, click a label indicator to change its status: border labels (A, B or 1, 2) and center labels (A1, A2, B1, or B2). The Cell References options affect the indexing labels of grids and graticules. Label offset and orientation can affect all borders at the same time, left-right/bottom-top, or individually (west, east, north, south).įor Line Tick Labels, click the Format links to open the Label Orientation dialog box (Graticules and Measured grids).Ĭlick the Format links to open the Label Format dialogue box (applies to Index and Measured grids).įor a graticule, only these label formats apply: Character styles must be defined in the Adobe Illustrator Character Style panel before use in this dialogue box.Ĭlick label orientation links to open the Label Orientation dialogue box. There are two modes to edit the appearance of grid labels: Custom and Character Style. When the mouse hovers over label indicators or label options, a green highlight appears to indicate its relation.Ĭlick the label style links to open the Edit Text Appearance dialogue box. In the label placement control, click a label indicator to change its status: disabled, X, Y or X&Y for grids disabled, Lat, Lng, Both for graticules. The Coordinate Values along Grid/Graticule Border options affect the coordinate labels of the grids and graticules (X,Y for indexed and measured grids Lat, Lng for graticules). There are two modes to edit the appearance of grid lines: Custom and Graphic Style. Grid Line and Border StylesĬlick the grid line and grid border-style links to open the Edit Appearance dialogue box. Gridline, line label, and cell reference options will differ depending on the grid or graticule chosen. When a grid or graticule is added or chosen, options will appear to the right of the list. An option to load grid settings from an existing configuration file is available.

Three types of grids are available: an index grid, a graticule, and a measured grid (if the coordinate system is not geodetic). Multiple grids can be created and edited in one collection. In the Grids & Graticules dialogue box, the left-hand panel lists the grid collection (grids and graticules created for a single object). To edit an existing grid, select it and click the Grids and Graticules button on the MAPublisher Toolbar. Using Grids and GraticulesĬlick the Grids & Graticules button on the MAPublisher Toolbar or from the main menu Object > MAPublisher > Grids & Graticules. Measured Grids cannot be generated for geodetic coordinate systems. Graticules and Index Grids can be generated for any coordinate system. The MAP View must have a coordinate system assigned in order to plot a grid. Alternatively, use the Custom mode to choose the style options directly in the dialogue box. Custom graphic styles should be created before (Window > Graphic Styles) using Grids & Graticules. Alternatively, use the Custom mode to change text appearances directly in the dialogue box.īy default, Grids & Graticules uses a default grid line style (black, 1 pt stroke width). Custom character styles should be created (Window > Type > Character Styles) before using Grids & Graticules. In the case that there are multiple legend layers in a MAP View (and neither are selected), you will be prompted to choose one.īy default, Grids & Graticules use Arial 12 pt black or the Normal Character Style as the style for line labels. A new legend layer will be created automatically if one is not present in the document. Grids and graticules must be created on a MAP Legend layer.

Layout a series of grid squares of specified linear unit size, aligned over a specified location. Three types of grids and graticules are available:ĭivide the map into a grid of a specified number of rows and columns.ĭraw lines of latitude and longitude of a specified interval aligned over a specified location. Each type of grid or graticule has numerous options for customizing grid lines, line labels, and cell references. The Grids & Graticules tool generates a grid or graticule based on a coordinate system (either of the current MAP View or a chosen one).
