python - Dealing with overlapping grid (and graticule) labels using ArcGIS Desktop?


I do have 3 grids made by Grids menu in data frame properties. I do need them to display in certain layout and also to behave accordingly to couple of rules (overlapping issues), so I can automate my production workflow. I figured that its not possible in the way I am trying to do now which is as per this Ask A Cartographer post entitled changing text characteristics of graticule labels.


So what are my alternatives? Is there a way to access grid labels in the existing mxd document and modify them according to my needs?


Probably its not possible with ArcPy, but maybe someone did it via ArcObjects (preferably in Python) and would like to share some experience?


I do not have any of the Production Mapping extensions, so I guess ArcObjects are my only option?
