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:
- 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).
- Go to map editing mode (see the section Opening and closing the map)
- Go to an existing map with which you want to associate the layout or create a new map (see the sections Switching between maps and Adding a new map).
- Save changes and exit layout editing mode (see Exiting Layout Editing mode).
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.
