Save the map with a similar name to the original one. For example, if the original map is MyMap.dwg, save this version as MyMapKeyView.dwg. 3 Close the map file and reopen the original one (MyMap.dwg). You will use MyMapKeyView.dwg in the next exercise, when you link it to the Key Map viewport. 4 Generate a legend that you can link to the Legend viewport. ■ Switch the Task Pane to the Display Manager tab. ■ Click Tools ➤ Create Legend. ■ Click a blank space that is outside the bounding box of the mapped area. Make sure there is some space between the map itself and the legend. That way, you can define the tiled area for the map book without including the legend in it. To continue this tutorial, go to Exercise 2: Specify the map book settings (page 187). Exercise 2: Specify the map book settings The Create Map Book dialog box guides you through all the settings needed for a map book. You can save your settings to use for future map books. NOTE This exercise uses the map you modified in the previous exercise (page 186). To specify the map book settings 1 On the Display Manager tab of the Task Pane, right-click the City_Boundary layer and click Zoom To Extents. 2 Save the map file. You cannot publish a map to any format without saving it first. 3 Switch the Task Pane to Map Book and click New ➤ Map Book. Exercise 2: Specify the map book settings | 187
