How do I limit a map using an ellipse, circle, rectangle, or rounded rectangle?
A. To use a symmetric shape object (rectangle, circle, ellipse, etc) for defining map limits, you must first convert the symmetric shape to an area. To do this, select the symmetric object and use the Boundary | Change Boundary Type | Symmetric Shape to Area command to convert it to an area object. Now you can select the area object and use the Map | Limits command to limit the map to the extents of the object.
