Data Frame Properties affecting Print Output

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

To guarantee a correct print output, reference scales on all data frames with printable content have to be identical to the reference scale of the main data frame.

Differing reference scales can cause certain symbols to be displayed at unexpected sizes. Use consistent reference scale values throughout your map collection to ensure proper symbol scaling.

 

To guarantee correct labeling in the print output, all data frames have to use the same Label Engine. Differing Label Engine settings will disable labeling for all features of certain data frames. When working with different Labeling Engines, the Labeling Engine of the main data frame will be used for labeling. All features of a data frame using a different Labeling Engine will not be labeled in print output.
