Hello

I am using MapBook for some time now, but i have not found solution to problem i have.
my problem is that i need coordinates of corners shown on layout (and printed)

sheets i am creating are allready named, so i am using closed polylines with object data table attached (containing sheet names) for tiles.
i had idea to try to read coordinates of that polyline, and use them in diesel expression to populate some custom fields, but no result.

does anyone have the idea?

thanks,

Mario

Post a screen shot of what you need, I might have some ideas. Also what
version of Map3D are you using?

i am using Map 3D 2008-2010. and any other if needed.

in the attached file, there are two files - sheet that is final product, and sheet_br, sheet bootom right corner.

thanks in advance,

I may have an solution for that by April 1st. Can you wait until then?

How's you LISP? I don't have one written, but it wouldn't take too much to write a LISP program to generate your labels - you can capture the Modelspace center (DXF code 12), the paperspace Viewport center (DXF code 10), scale (DXF code 45), height (DXF code 41) and width (DXF code 40). From those you can determine the viewport size Ht X scale, Wd X scale, and use them to get the bounding box coordinates -

XLR = CntrMSX + 1/2 WdMS
YLR = CntrMSY - 1/2 HtMS

This will only work with rectangles, but could be easily applied to all the sheets in the MapBook.

I haven't found how to get the MS center of the Viewport from the Object definition in a field to build an equation with - that would be the obvious best way - no code and completely dynamic.

to Murph: yes, i can. i have some other ways to do the job, but i would like to solve it for future.

to rick: i am not very good in lisp, but that was the idea. to find at least one point in paperspace with modelspace coords, and use them in expression for creating labels. or something like that...

but i will try something in that way, thanks. (even if it requires learning lisp 🙂 )

any news Murph?
i did not find any solution that would work..

Yes, Map3D 2011. It has Grid and Granules for layouts based on the
coordinate system used for your maps. I also works in Mapbooks if you create
the grid in the layout template. Take a look at the second image here.

thanks Murph.
i'll try next week, when i get back to office.

not exactly what i need...
i can't find any way to customize appearance of graticules. except changing mtext one by one.
but thanks anyway.
