This section contains details on how to perform each step when configuring a map.
For details on the tools available in MapMaker's graphical editor, see Using the
graphical editor [➙ 38].
Creating a new map
1. Select:
Supervisor System Settings > MM8000 / MT8001 System > Logical
Configuration > Maps
2. Select the map icon
tree.
 A map node appears in the tree.
3. Select the new map node in the tree and then the Node tab.
4. If required, disable the Page adjustment algorithm (see DMS8000 maps -
general procedure [➙ 10]).
Note: Disabling the page adjustment algorithm may result is some of the points
not being visible for alarm treatment or graphic navigation. The algorithm has
been designed to make sure that the depth's zooming factor can include in the
pages all the points in the same tree-level (sibling points). Without this
automatic adjustment, you have to verify that all the required points are
properly visible on each page of the map. See DMS8000 maps - general
procedure [➙ 10] for more information about the adjustment algorithm.
5. Click Edit Map.
 The-map wizard starts.

1. Select map type, which can be:
- Pixel-based: this is the simplest solution, map dimensions are given in
screen units.
- Metric-based with given units and dimensions: select this option if you want
to define a scale in metric units. Here you are prompted to specify the X/Y
size in pixels (m or Km) and the correspondent precision (here, for best
performances, we recommend to leave the default values). Note that a
CAD file background can be imported later using the import tools.
- Metric-based related CAD units: this option allows for defining a scale
related to the units of an AutoCAD file. In this case, you can import a
DWG/DXF CAD file (DWG and DXF) and then define the scale ratio.
Note: If you have a reference of the scale units used in the map, select the
Metric option. Otherwise, opt for the simpler Pixel-based map. Note that
you will also be able to modify the resolution units later (menu command
Map > Resolution).
2. Press Next and define the Map size in pixel or metric units.
Note: Use the default if you are unsure. You will be able to modify the size later
if necessary (menu command Map > Dimensions).
3. Finish the creation Wizard and enter the graphic configuration environment.
