If no other maps have yet been created, inserting a submap will launch the New Map View

TIP window directly.

3.To create an entirely new map, click on Create New. The New Map View window (as illustrated in Figure 6-4on page 6-8) opens. Configure the name and display parameters as desired, then click OK.

To link an existing map, select the name of the map you wish to link, then click OK. Only the maps available for submap linkage will be listed.

NOTE

Remember, any map can only be defined as the submap of one root map. If you select a map which is already a submap of another map, the original submap link will be broken, and the new link established. This change will be reflected in the Map View workspace, and the invalid submap icon will be automatically removed from the original map, but you will not be notified in any other way that a submap relationship has been changed.

4.If you have chosen to create a new map, closing the New Map View window changes the arrow cursor to a crosshair cursor; click this cursor in your root map to place the submap icon.

If you have selected an existing map, it will be opened and placed behind the active map, and the arrow cursor will change to a crosshair cursor. Click this cursor in your root map to place the submap icon.
