New Map

Using datasets from the Subway.udbx datasource located in sample data\SampleData\ExerciseData\QuickMakingMapTutorial to create a new map.

Open Data

Open the iDesktopX application
Click Start->Datasource->File button.
In the Open File Datasource dialog, navigate to \SampleData\ExerciseData\QuickMakingMapTutorial directory and select Subway.smwu

There are two methods to create a new map:

Method 1: Under the Subway datasource node, hold Ctrl/Shift keys to select all datasets in this datasource, then choose Add to New Map from the context menu to complete map creation.
Method 2: Select New Map from the Maps node's context menu. In the Select dialog, use Ctrl/Shift keys to choose four datasets from the Subway datasource: BaseMap, Subway, Substation, and TransferStation. Click OK to complete map creation.

Note:

For Method 1, pay attention to the layer display order in the map. To avoid layer occlusion, the typical display order from top to bottom should be: Text --> Point --> Line --> Region.
In Method 2, datasets are automatically sorted following the Text --> Point --> Line --> Region display order.

The newly created map is shown below:
