Changing Map Culture Display

You can change display properties of map culture and grids that appear in the map. Map culture can include elements exported from AccuMap Detail Maps (cities, provincial boundaries, rivers and lakes, and roads), polygons you created, and culture imported from local files (.gnc, .prd, .cdf, .grd).

You can also change the display properties of land grids, but only one section at a time.

To select and clear which layers appear on the map, use the Map Features dialog box instead.

To change map culture displays

1. Double-click the map culture you want to change.

The GeoPolyForm Properties dialog box appears.

2. Select and type your criteria in the dialog box, and then click OK.

 If you label map objects, a small black square handle appears above the label in the map area. Click and drag this handle to move the label as depicted.
