If the thematic map is not instantly refreshed during the modification, click Apply at the bottom of the 3D Ranges Map Manager to apply all changes to the thematic map when the modification is done.

Note

1. You can save a thematic map you have created as a template for reuse. Please refer to Save to Thematic Map Template Library.
2. After saving to the template library, the template will be displayed in the Templates drop-down list in the Graph on the Thematic Mapping tab and you can apply it to other thematic maps.
3. Compound ThemeLabel doesn’t support to display superscripts and subscripts.
