Views are a way to focus on different areas of a map. They can be used when editing a map and in Screenshot mode. Views aren’t shown in the Viewer unless they have been updated. When available in the Viewer, viewts are shown as steps under each map heading.
Views are an optional feature. If your map has no defined view, then the camera will instead default to the project bounds
The currently visible View is highlighted (with a coloured background). If the map isn’t currently showing a View then no Views will be highlighted.
Views appear differently in different-sized browsers. The view will always fit within the available space, filling either the width or the height.
To add a view
On a project map under Views, select Save current view. A view is added to the end of the list based on the map currently in view.
To focus the map on a view
On a project map under Views, next to the view name, select View.
To edit a view
On a project map under Views, next to the view name, select Edit.
The View name can be updated via the text field on the view card.
The View coordinates can be updated by panning (dragging) the map and adjusting the bordered area with the handle (the bottom-right blue triangle).
The View rotation and angle can be adjusted by holding the right mouse button and dragging left or right for rotation and up or down for angle. The view rotation can be reset by selecting the bearing symbol (top centre). The view angle can be reset by holding the right mouse button and dragging down.
To finish editing a view, select the message (top centre) or press Esc. Both pressing Esc and selecting the message retain changes.
To delete a view
There is no additional prompt when deleting a view. Views are deleted immediately without an undo option.
On a project map,
- Under Views, select the view by selecting the view name
- Select Delete, the selected View is deleted
Only one View can be selected at a time.
