Attaching a map to a layout

You can attach a map to a layout. This means that when you switch to the layout, the attached map opens automatically.

To attach a map to a layout:

1. Select the layout with which you want to  associate the map  in the layouts ribbon or create a new layout (see Creating and deleting layouts and Selecting a layout for editing).
2. Switch to map view mode (see the section Opening and closing the map)
3.  Switch to an existing map that you want to attach to the layout, or create a new map (see the sections Switching between maps and Creating a new map).
4. In the context menu of the layouts ribbon, select Save layout.
   
   

After you save the layout, its icon resembles than shown in picture below.

If a map is open in 2D mode when you save a layout, when you switch to that layout, the map will always open in 2D mode. The layout icon resembles that shown in picture below.

The map is now attached to the layout.
