Hi all,
just for the records:
To get the bounding boxes of my 25 individually composed maps
(portrait/landscape orientation) I did the following:
[0. Save every single map as a Map composer template in the same folder]
1. Manually open every template and copy the coordinates of the extent

mber in the polygon shapefile.
Puuh, not that complicated but not that straightforward also.
Would I do it for 250 maps?
Hi Johannes,
as Nathan told you, there should be an easier way to do this via the
python api.
For example it should be able to
to shorten the process(and make the system a bit more uniform).
What I do is
1. decide on the paper size I want,
2. create a shapefile with that size polygon,
3. scale, rotate and move that polygon up to world coordintates,
4. copy that polygon and move each one along alignment.
5. Edit the page
Hi,
@Richard: Well, I did not dig into python API. In fact I was not really
aware of it. Producing 250 maps would have me looking into it for sure!
@Brad:
I intented to skip steps 1-3 by using the composer extents ;-)
Overall; the tricksy part was to get a nice rectangular shape for which I
in arcmap I can setup ddp (data driven pages).
Run a tool to split my alignment by a given length, and then tell ddp
to create a sheet for each segment. Which is ok until your segments go
from north-south to east-west orientation (makes you decide whether to
rotate the page or not or make a square
Hi all,
I wonder how to (easily) produce an overview map showing the extents of 26
single Maps (in german: Blattschnittübersicht).
Right now I can only think of saving the individual x/y min and x/ymax
coordinates of the map extends shown in the map composer in order to
manually digitize my map

I think you could use a bit python to do this. I'll have a look in sec
and send you some code if I work it out.

Hi Richard, Nathan, André,
many thanks for your replies and suggestions.
It's not so much about the extents of single files (vector or raster) but
the extents of the maps I produce in the map composer.
So applying some python could be interesting.
Well, I will play around a little and in the end
