Configure a North Arrow Function Field
The north arrow is implemented as a logo function field with the technical ID value northarrow". WebOffice 10.9 SP2 currently generates a north arrow image size 45 x 45 pixels, therefore it is recommended to size the logo function field 1.2cm by 1.2cm. If you want to insert a new logo function field use the button Insert logo from the WebOffice plot author toolbar.
WebOffice plot author toolbar: Insert Logo
Place the logo as you like and edit the properties:
•Width/Height: 1.2cm
•Element Name: northarrow
Logo properties
Then save the layout file with the according button in the WebOffice plot author toolbar.

•After adding a new function field you have to Reload Resources of affected WebOffice 10.9 SP2 projects in SynAdmin. •Configure a North Arrow in WebOffice author if you want to have a specific north arrow on the print. |
