Using the Draw Tools
Draw Overview
You can add draw objects, such as routable roads, waypoints, tracks, text, symbols,
MapNotes, images, lines, arcs, splines, circles, polygons, and rectangles to your map
with the tools provided in the Draw tab.
To work with existing draw objects, you must first open the existing map file that
contains the object or draw file.

What is a Draw File?
Imagine a draw file as a sheet of glass laying on top of your map. You can
add various objects to the draw file to help enhance or pinpoint specific areas
on the map, but these objects do not become part of the map. They exist in a
draw file that overlays the map.
•
There are four different types of draw files: draw, road, waypoint, and
track. You can create more than one draw file and overlay one on top
of the other while still viewing the map beneath. See Editing/Locking
Draw Files in this section.
•
A draw file is automatically generated the first time you add a draw
object to the map.
•
You can save draw objects in a single draw file or in multiple draw
files.
•
Draw files are saved by default in C:\DeLorme Docs\Draw with the
default name; for example, DrawLayer#.an1, with # indicating the
number order in which the file was created. You can rename draw files
to better identify your specific information. See Creating a New Draw
File in this section.
•
You can view draw files individually or with other draw files.
•
As you create draw files, they are added to the current map files.
•
You can add draw files you create to multiple map files.
•
When you clear or delete a draw file, the objects in the draw file do
not display and are deleted along with the draw file.
•
You can control the creation of new draw files in the draw file editing
area. See Creating a New Draw File in this section.
•
You can display multiple draw files while working on your map. You
can work on one draw file at a time while viewing other files beneath
it. You can select different draw files to be the active, editable file from
within the Draw tab. See Editing/Locking Draw Files in this section.
•
Draw files created in a particular map file are displayed only if that
map file is currently displaying. For example, if DrawLayer27 is created
in a map file named Yarmouth Zoom 14 only, DrawLayer27 does not
display if a map file named Old Port is currently displaying.
•
Routable roads are not tied to a map file; they do not change even
when a map file is changed.
