Map Manager - Layer Manager

Open the Conquest Map Manager to access the Conquest Map View:

You are now ready to make changes to the Map Layers of a Map View. Note: Changes are in the Conquest server-side database, not on your local CMTPC machine. The changes won’t show in CMTPC until you perform a Download that includes the Map View you have changed:

•      Click the Tool Menu

•      Select Layer Manager

•      Select a View Name from the lower list e.g. MGA54

•      Click the Load button. You should see the upper list of Map Layers change accordingly

•      Click a Layer Name. You can now use the buttons on the right of the Map Layers list e.g. to make labels appear on Roads do the following:

•      Click the tutRoads Map Layer

•      Click the Labelling button

•      Tick the Autolabelling On checkbox

•      Click OK (see the red tick appear)

•      Click Apply (see the labels appear for Roads on the Map)

•      If the font looks too large, Click on Labeling again, then on Text Style

•      In this example, change the font size from 12 to 8, Click OK twice then Click Apply

•      Now all of the Road / Footpath labels are showing

•      Click Save in the lower set of buttons, which saves the Map View in Conquest

•      Close the Layer Manager

•      Remember: You won’t see the effect of your changes in CMTPC until your next Download

There is a lot of scope for improving the appearance of Conquest Maps in CMTPC. Try some variations until you are happy with the effects.
