Create a Utility Map

Add survey data to a map and overlay it on a feature-for example, show hydrants and parcels. Style the hydrants using symbols, and assign scale ranges so the symbols appear only at certain zoom levels. Style the parcels to include labels based on their attribute data, and assign scale ranges so the labels appear only at certain zoom levels.


Open or create a map file		Open or create a new drawing using a map template

Connect to survey data in an Access database		Connect to the database and add point data as a layer (for example, hydrant data)

Add SDF data		Connect to a data store and add each feature class as a layer (for example, parcels)

Create a symbol style for the point layer		Use symbols to represent and display point features

Create scale ranges for the symbols		Specify the zoom level at which the symbols appear

Add labels based on attribute data		Specify the content and style of labels for the feature in a layer

Create scale ranges for the labels		Specify the zoom levels at which the labels appear
