Summary
Created for ArcGIS 9.2, SP 6 or ArcGIS 9.3 (also requires ArcGIS .NET Assemblies) This tool allows you to zoom to each of the bookmarks in a project or each of the point, line, and polygon features of a feature layer (either all the features or a selected subset) and export the map or layout to a graphics file. The files are named by the unique attributes in a field in the layer. If several features share the attribute, the exported map will be zoomed to the extent of the features with the common attribute. If the layout contains several data frames, you can select the data frames that will be zoomed to the same extent as the active frame. This is an update to the Zoom and Export ArcScript (http://arcscripts.esri.com/details.asp?dbid=14035) with such improvements as zooming to bookmarks, automatically creating world files for selected export formats, clipping to graphics extent, automatically embedding fonts and others. Complete instructions on how to use the tool are included in the zip file.
