Place Template

Place Template opens a dialog containing a list and preview of all available Print Templates. These are the Print Templates from the SIS Standard Library and all Print Templates from additionally loaded Named Object Libraries.
 

A Print Template can be selected and will be placed on the current Map Window. Hereby the Print Workshop will determine whether to keep the scale of the map window or the extent.

If the Map Window is set to a round scale (e.g. 1250, 20000, 25, 500, 750) the Map Frame will be composed on the exact scale. This means that the Map Frame on large Print Templates (e.g. DIN A2 paper format) will show a larger extent than the screen Map Window.

If no particular viewing scale is set for the Map Window, the Print Workshop Place Template function will compose the Map Frame with the viewing extent of the Map Window.

Note: It is not possible to Place a Print Template on a Map Window which already contains a Print Template (Map Frame).
