To set an island map for a plot
- In the Maintenance workspace, create the plot.
For a detailed procedure for creating a plot, see Creating a New Plot Using a Template.
The
display model
you use during this capture must contain all layers (plot layers, GIS layers, and the layer that will make up the covering areas, or “masks”). If you created an island map plan, the display model originally assigned to the plot will not be considered. Only the display model of the map placeholder is considered. That is why it must contain the plot layers, too.
- In the Capture Map Settings dialog box, click the arrow on the Capture Map button and select Set Island Map.
- In the Island Map Settings dialog box, select the polygon feature class to use as the basis for the island.
The options in the list are determined by the System Administrator.
- To expand the island in or out from the selected feature or topology, set a buffer distance by clicking Advanced Settings and entering the distance settings.
- Click Select and click the location where the island map should be created. If AutoCAD Map 3D toolset finds a feature at the selected location, it will display an AutoCAD hatch. You can create multiple island masks on the same plot.
- Click Create to capture the island.
