Prior to joining the MPA in Environmental Science and Policy (MPA-ESP) program, current student Jessica Bensley was the owner and Chief Operating Officer of her own Barbados-based map publishing company, Skyviews Inc. The MAP View Editor displays and controls the geospatial parameters of the MAP View (coordinate systems and scale on the artboard), the position of the data extents on the page (alignment and rotation) and provides a way to change the MAP View name.MPA in Environmental Science and Policy student Jessica Bensley hopes that her education in the MPA-ESP program will allow her to contribute meaningfully to solving global economic resource crises by developing her knowledge of the science, policy, and economics. A preview pane shows and allows users to move the current MAP View relative to the artboard and to the other MAP Views in the document. The MAP View Editor is also where coordinate system transformations are performed. MAP Views panel : Select a MAP View, and then select Edit under the Options arrow in the upper right corner of the panel.The MAP View Editor can be accessed as part of the Multiple Data Import dialog box or from the MAP Views panel: Transformations affect the data geometry on the page as map art is redrawn to match the new coordinate system properties. Multiple Data Import : Click the Create new option in the Destination MAP View section, and then click the Editor button to open the MAP View Editor.īy default, the Preview Pane displays the data extents with a green rectangle and the MAP View orientation with an arrow pointing north.Alternatively, double-click the MAP View name in the MAP Views panel. To move the data on the page, click inside the green rectangle and drag the data to a more suitable position relative to the page. Use the Zoom In, Zoom Out and Center buttons to set the magnification of the preview. To move the page within the Preview Pane, click outside the MAP View extent and drag to move the page. The Previews drop-down list changes the preview to Coloured boxes (previews up to ten MAP views, each with different colours as specified in the Configure Previews settings), Thumbnails (preview a reduced image of the document contents, including all MAP views) and Thumbnails & Boxes (shows both thumbnails and coloured boxes of up to 10 MAP views in the document).ĭue to Adobe Illustrator rasterization limitations, thumbnails cannot be created for very large MAP Views. To configure the previews, click the Configure preview button. To adjust the colour of the current MAP View preview, click the colour chip and choose a colour in the colour picker dialog box. Layer visibility can be individually toggled under the Visible column. Use the Show All or Hide All buttons to toggle the visibility of the entire list. To toggle only the layers of a particular MAP View, right-click the MAP View to access a context menu that has the options to Show All or Hide All. Adjust thumbnail quality using the drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box. Quality settings include: Low, Medium, High, and Very High. The current name of the MAP View is listed in the Name box, which can be edited. MAP Views are ordered alphabetically in the MAP Views panel, so changing a MAP View name may change its position in the panel. The scale of the current MAP View is shown in the Scale box. For MAP Views in a projected coordinate system, the scale value is a real world scale (exact ratio linear distance on the page over distance on the ground). For MAP Views in a geodetic coordinate system (i.e. Lat/Long format in angular unit), the scale value is approximated using the common formula 1°= 111.353m (metres per degree at the equator). This is not an accurate number because the formula is only valid at the equator, but it is more intuitive for cartographic considerations. The scale can be edited by typing in a precise value or by using the Up and Down arrows to increase or decrease the scale by 10% of the starting value. The Auto-scale button applies the scale to fit the visible data in the preview to the artboard or margins and centers the map on the page (see Preview Pane).
