Saving a Map Border File (Optional)
MapCreate 7 gives you the option of saving your border as a Map Bor-
der File. Saving a Map Border file is not necessary because you can cre-
ate a map without saving the border, and you can even extract borders
from finished Map Files.
However, this option is useful if you like to tinker with your map bor-
ders, and you don't want to start over each time you want to change a
border. Here's how to save the border:
(Refer as needed to the "Toolbars" section, beginning on page 43.)
1. Click the
SAVE MAP BORDER button on the FILE toolbar. The Save As
dialog box appears.
Save Map Border File dialog box.
2. Type a name in the File Name text box and click SAVE.
The file was placed in the "data" sub-folder located within the MapCre-
ate folder on your hard drive. You can now start another map border
(click the
NEW MAP BORDER FILE button on the FILE toolbar) or you can
close MapCreate and return another day. To open this border file later
on, just click the
OPEN MAP BORDER FILE button (on the FILE toolbar) and
select the file name from the list.
