Working in the i2 Esri Maps window

Navigate the map window, find or remove mapped items, and copy the map view as a picture.

Navigating the i2 Esri Maps window

To zoom in, double-click the map. To zoom out, press Ctrl and double-click. If your mouse has a wheel, rotate the wheel forward and back to zoom in and out.

To pan to different parts of the map, drag the map to a different position or use the arrow keys.

Mapped items

When a map contains large numbers of mapped entities, it can be hard to see how those entities correlate with the entities on your chart. To find an entity on the map, select it on the chart. The map pans to the corresponding entity on the map and selects it. If you select an entity on the map, the chart pans to the corresponding entity on the chart and selects it.

To remove entities from a map, select them, then press Delete. Alternatively, right-click one of the selected items and select Remove Selected or Remove Unselected. The items are removed from the map but they are not deleted from the chart. You can also remove all entities from the map by clicking Remove All at the top of the i2 Esri Maps window. Deleting an item on the chart also removes it from the map.

When you edit the display properties of an entity by editing its chart item properties, the display is updated on the corresponding entity on the map.

Copy the map as a picture

You can put a copy of the current map into another document as a picture. For example, if you are writing a report in Microsoft Word, you can include a picture of the map. To copy a picture of the current map to the clipboard, at the top of the i2 Esri Maps window click Copy as Picture. The current extent of the map and any entities on the map are copied to the clipboard for you to paste into another document.
