Where is the ArcGIS 10 tool for creating a shapefile from current dataframe extents in layout view?
Have looked around and the closet thing i can find is Toolbox's Grid/Strip Map Index tools under Data Drive Pages.
I just want to be able to create a single polygon rectangle shp file based on the data frame (in layout view) for any given scale / page setup.
Answer
I created a tool to do this via a Toolbox in ArcGIS 10. It might be easier to use than scripting. You can download it here. Just copy your mxd(s) into a folder and run the tool on that folder. It will create a shapefile containing all the main extents of each mxd in that folder.
