Adding Layers from the Catalog View

In this section you will learn how to add additional layers to your map from a previously connected data source (the DM Solutions WMS).

Adding a Layer from a previously connected WMS:

  • In the Catalog view expand the record for the GMap WMS Demo Server by clicking on the triangle beside the record.

  • Right-click on Railroads and select Add to Current Map.

  • The new layer will appear in the Layers view and automatically start to render.

    When it finishes rendering, you should see a new Railroads layer drawn on screen.

  • The catalog also comes equipped with a built in service called Decoration.

    Select Decoration ‣ Scalebar in the Catalog view and drag this layer onto the Map

    The Scalebar is added to the top left corner of your map.

  • You can now close the Map Editor using the small x next to the map name.

  • Available maps including this one are shown in the Projects view if you would like to open your map again.
