Select Template
Instructions for use
If you need to directly draw a map or update data based on an existing template, you can use the Select Template function. This function supports selecting an existing template from the current Workspace or a local *.xml map template file as the editing template.
Function Entry
- Features选项卡->Objects组->Template editing下拉项->Select Template。
- Map选项卡->Template editing组->Template editing下拉项->Select Template。
Operation Steps
- Open the Select Template dialog box through any of the above function entries.
- Set parameters in the popped-up Select Template dialog box:
- Edit Template: In the drop-down options of the edit template input box, you can select templates existing in the current Workspace. For template import and export, please refer to the Template Manager document. Additionally, you can click the file button behind the input box to select an edit template stored locally.
- Reassign Datasource: After selecting the template, the program will automatically match data sources with the same name in this Workspace based on the template information. If the data sources have different names, you can manually modify them.
- In the reassign datasource list, the Source Datasource column displays the datasource names used in the template, and the Specify Datasource column displays the data sources in the current Workspace. Here, you can reassign the datasource through the drop-down options in the cells.
- The toolbar above the table provides Select All, Select Reverse, and Uniform Settings buttons. You can batch select table records and then click the Uniform Settings button to uniformly specify the datasource for the selected records.
- After completing the settings, click the OK button. A new map will be generated based on the selected template and specified data sources and opened in the map. At the same time, the Template Editing panel will be brought up. The related operations in the panel are consistent with those in Template Editing.
Notes:If the datasets in the specified datasource do not match those in the template, the layers without matching datasets in the map will fail to be created. The output window will list the unmatched layers.
