Including the Current Map
In addition to the Feature Map, a Current Map can be added. The Current Map represents the current map extent in the GIS. The Current Map is added by dragging and dropping the data from the Dictionary tab. In this example the PARCEL_CURRENTMAP (25) is added.
Adding the Current Map data band
As next step the map is inserted into the current map section. Before doing this, the DataPARCEL_CURRENTMAP section must be enlarged to the desired map output size. The current map itself is displayed via the button Current map (26) button in the tool area. Click the button in the toolbar and drag the map to the area Current map. Next, the Current Map Properties dialog (26) opens.
Inserting the Current Map
In the Current Map properties dialog limited map settings are available:
Name |
The Current Map is called the Overview. |
Resolution (DPI) |
The default value is set to 300 dpi. |
Display scale as scale value in the map |
This option is enabled because no other map components are inserted for the Current Map in this example. |
