Creating Corridor Map Borders
A corridor map lets you twist and turn your borders to enclose irregu-
larly shaped geographic features. Here's how: (Refer as needed to the
"Toolbars" section, beginning on page 35.)
1. Center the Master Map display on the area you want to include in
your map. Click the

click the cross-hair mouse pointer on the area you want centered.
2. If needed, click the

around.
3. Click the

, and
your mouse pointer becomes a pencil.
4. Move the mouse pointer to where you want your corridor map to be-
gin.
5. Click and
release
the left mouse button to set the first anchor point.
(The anchor point is represented by a handle box, which can also be
grabbed later to relocate the border if you wish.)
6. As you move your mouse, you'll see a magenta border box appear.
Move the mouse pointer in a straight line along your corridor's path
until you need to change direction to follow the terrain. Click to set a
second anchor point.
