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
.
•
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
.
•
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
.
•
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
.
•
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.
