Adding Layers from the Catalog View¶

In this section you will learn how to add additional layers to your map from a previously connected data source (the DM Solutions WMS).

Adding a Layer from a previously connected WMS:

• In the Catalog view expand the record for the GMap WMS Demo Server by clicking on the triangle beside the record.

• Right-click on Railroads and select Add to Current Map.

  

• The new layer will appear in the Layers view and automatically start to render.

  

  When it finishes rendering, you should see a new Railroads layer drawn on screen.

• The catalog also comes equipped with a built in service called Decoration.

  Select Decoration ‣ Scalebar in the Catalog view and drag this layer onto the Map

  

  The Scalebar is added to the top left corner of your map.

• You can now close the Map Editor using the small x next to the map name.

• Available maps including this one are shown in the Projects view if you would like to open your map again.
