Print/Export: Map Only Option

 

 

 

 

The Map Only option does not use any map template. It only exports the map image itself to the file format that you choose.

 

Follow the numbered instructions beneath each illustration to export the map image only.

Click the Print/Export icon to view the Export dialog and select the Map only tab.

The Map only tab lets you specify the format for the map you are exporting.

Type a File name that is meaningful and describes the contents. This name is used when the map image is created. The file extension is related to the file format you select, as listed below.

Show Print Area

If you turn this on, the map will show only the area that will be displayed in the template; the rest of the map on the screen will appear dark.
