    1. Python Scripting for Map Automation in ArcGIS 10 Michael Grossman Jeff Barrette

    2. What is map scripting (arcpy.mapping)? A new mapping module that is part of the geoprocessing ArcPy site-package A python scripting API that allows our users to: Manage map documents, layer files, and the data within them Find a layer with data source X and replace with Y Update a layer’s symbology in many MXDs Generate reports that lists document information Data sources, broken layers, spatial reference info, etc. Automate the exporting and printing of map documents Automate map production and create PDF map books

    3. Who is arcpy.mapping for? Why was it built? An easy to use, productive scripting environment for the GIS Analyst Courser grained object model Not a complete replacement for ArcObjects An environment to use for basic map/layer management and map automation tasks A simple way to publish mapping tasks to the server environment arcpy.mapping scripts can be easily published as geoprocessing tools

    4. Demonstration: Brief introduction to arcpy.mapping sample script tools See the Resource Center sample scripts in action
