Add the Index To Streets element

Defense Mapping ライセンスで利用できます。

The Index To Streets layout element helps find a street on a layout by identifying the region on a grid that contains the street. This element contains a list of street names with their associated grid value. Because the grid values correspond with the region containing the street name annotation, each street name appears on the map once. The index derives the street names from a feature class and uses the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) for the grid.
