How do you need the script to be modified? If you have the maps open and copy the code into the python window in ArcMap, it should work. You may need to change the variables (focal_layer, feature_name, labelFields), but the basics of the code should work.
I would also encourage looking into the data driven maps if the automation script doesn't work, as the reported errors are more useful
In the automation process, the code should specifically select only type 2 EA's and export them the map. The code should also end up creating a map document for each EA.
A separate code is also ideal for the type three map automation process, this code should specifically extract the shapes based on SA's (Selected on SA number) from the Dissolve shapefile to create the various pdf's and map documents.
So what do you want this to look like - a script to extract the various SAs based on type and orientation? I have some code somewhere to do the orientation calculation, would that be useful?
Yes it would be. We are currently implementing the data-driven pages for the map creation. https://youtu.be/pBK1Q9SG5dk is a link to the first implementation we did.
@bpstewar , the GIS team would be glad if you could modify the automation code to be specific to T2 Portrait and T2 Landscape Maps.
