To save a colour scheme

1.Make your changes to the map features using the Legend tool.

Note

The Legend tool and colour schemes are only available on a Detail map.

See Changing the appearance of map features for details.

2.Select Options>Colour Schemes>Save Colour Scheme.

The Save Colour Scheme dialog box will appear.

3.Click the folder you would like to save the colour scheme in. You will see your Org(anisation) folder (available to everyone in the company), your Group folder (available to users in that group) and your Private folder (available only to you).

If you want to set this colour scheme as a default, you need to save it in the Org\Colour_Schemes folder.

Promap will automatically put its name in the Folder Name box.

4.In the File name text box, type the name of your colour scheme, e.g. Scheme 1. Enter a Description, e.g. red building outlines, and a Reference, e.g. Development Team, if you wish.

Note

Colour schemes can only be applied to the type of map is was originally created and saved in. For example, a colour scheme created on an OS Detail map cannot be applied to a UKMap Detail map. When naming the colour scheme we would suggest including in the file name what layer the colour scheme is being created in, ie: OS Detail Layer or UKMap Layer so when you want to apply a colour scheme to a map you know which colour schemes are for which layers.

5.Click Save.

Your colour scheme will be saved in the folder you specified.

Tip

You can move, delete and rename colour schemes using the quick fire buttons shown here. The button that looks like an open folder allows you to create subfolders to save your colour schemes in. The final button is Properties and allows you to get information about any selected colour scheme.

Select Options>Colour Schemes>Open and click the Browse tab. The quick fire buttons will appear in the top right hand corner of the Browse box. For further help, go to To organise files and folders.
