All modifications to the IMSMANG background maps must be performed in an external GIS application such as ArcMap 10.1.
- Copy all layers to a folder ouside the C:\IMSMAng folder.
- Change the .MXD file as needed. Example of editsn:
- 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 an external GIS application allows you to make other changes to the map, the changes listed above are the ones that can be viewed with IMSMANG.
- Save the .MXD file with a new name.
- Import the new .MXD file.
- Test the new .MXD with IMSMANG and evaluate performance.
- Share the new .MXD file and all layer files.
