To modify a grid in ArcGIS Pro, you'll primarily use the Element pane. This allows you to adjust its properties and appearance.
Here's a breakdown of the steps:
-
Access the Element Pane: In the Contents pane, right-click the grid you want to modify and select Properties. This will open the Element pane, which contains the settings for the grid.
-
Modify Grid Properties: Within the Element pane, you can adjust various aspects of the grid, including:
- Name: Change the name of the grid as it appears in the Contents pane. This is for organizational purposes.
- Visibility: Toggle the grid's visibility on or off within the layout. This allows you to quickly show or hide the grid without deleting it.
While the initial response focuses on Name and Visibility, note that the Element pane offers significantly more control. Depending on the type of grid (e.g., Graticule, Measured Grid, Reference Grid), you'll find settings to adjust:
- Intervals: Set the spacing between grid lines or tics.
- Labels: Control the appearance, placement, and format of grid labels.
- Symbols: Customize the symbols used for grid lines, tics, and corners.
- Coordinate System: Define the coordinate system the grid is based on.
- Appearance: Modify the color, weight, and style of grid lines and labels.
In short, use the Element pane, accessed by right-clicking the grid layer in the Contents pane, to fully customize the grid's appearance and properties in your ArcGIS Pro layout.
