Maptitude^® On-Line Training

Maps

• Click the Overlaps tab:

Maptitude normally prevents labels from overlapping so the map is easier to read. This means that some features will be labeled and others will not. You can change the way Maptitude draws labels by setting a higher priority for certain layers or features, using alternate fields to label features, and allowing labels to overlap.

Just as you can set a layer so that it displays only at certain scales, you can set labels so they display only at certain scales. For example, you can design your map so that, as you zoom in, first the layer is drawn and then the appear. Doing so can help to make your map easier to read.
