Major modifications to the IMSMA maps must be performed in an external desktop GIS application such as ArcMap 9.x. To change existing maps:
- Close the IMSMA client.
- Copy any new layers to the <IMSMA Installation Directory>\server\gis\maps\Map_Name directory, where Map_Name is the name of the map that you would like to change.
- Open the .mxd file from the <IMSMA Installation Directory>\server\gis\maps\Map_Name folder.
- Change the map as needed. From ArcMap you can:
- Set minimum and maximum display levels for each layer
- Add, modify, and remove raster and vector layers
- Change the map coordinate system
- Create pyramids for raster layers
- Change colours and styles
- Add, modify, or remove labels from vector layers
- Group and ungroup layers
- Although ArcMap allows you to make other changes to the map, the changes listed above are the ones that can be viewed with IMSMA.
- Save the .mxd file and exit ArcMap.
- Restart the IMSMA client.
