Creating Network Maps

!

CAUTION

If you use the Cut command to remove a submap icon, only the icon will be removed, and no confirmation is required. If you use the Delete command, the icon will be removed, and a prompt window opens asking if you wish to remove the view as well. Click Yes to remove both the submap icon and the map view it represents; click No to remove the icon only.

If you accidentally select Yes, don’t forget you can still recover your map view by importing its associated .MRM file, which will not be removed with the .MAP version. See Importing an MRM Map, page 6-20, for more information.

Adding a GoTo Symbol

You can add GoTo symbols to any map at any time, creating the ability to open or activate one map from another. While the status of the map represented by the GoTo symbol is displayed in the symbol itself, that status is not included in the overall status of the map of which the GoTo symbol is a part, and will not be propagated up the map hierarchy. Relationships formed by GoTo symbols are also not displayed in the Map View tree hierarchy.

1.If necessary, open or activate the map to which you wish to add a GoTo symbol.

2.In the primary window menu bar, select Insert—>GoTo Map.
