Maptitude^® On-Line Training

Maptitude Basics

• Menus: list all the commands
• Toolbar: buttons for frequently used commands
• Toolboxes: contain tools for general and specific needs

The menus contain most of the commands, and the toolbars for each type of window contain commands you will use often, plus a drop-down list to control the working layer of a map, the selection set for a dataview, or the scale of a layout.

When you are doing map editing, contouring, routing, and other tasks, there are special toolboxes for each. There is also a main toolbox for maps and layouts with many handy tools for changing the scale, adding freehand items, and doing other things.

There are many context-sensitive menus, which are the quickest way to access the most common commands. As you use Maptitude, try clicking in different places to see what the context-sensitive menus have to offer.
