Tip Box
Pop-up Tool Tip box. When the cross-hair pointer hovers over the visi-
ble wreck symbol, a red border surrounds the symbol and the tip box
appears. This wrecked vessel is the "Three Brothers."
Main Menu
MapCreate's main menu is similar to that of other Windows programs. It
consists of the File, Edit, View, Insert, Tools, Window and Help menus.
You can click with a mouse or use the hot keys to access the menus and
their submenus. For example, to see all the commands on the File menu,
use the mouse pointer to click
keys
. Some commands also have shortcut keys, such as
Alt+F
Help command. All the commands — with their hot keys and shortcut
keys — are listed alphabetically in the Help file's Command Reference
section.
Toolbars
MapCreate 7 includes five different toolbars, all designed to speed you on
your way to creating maps quickly. Each toolbar contains a row of buttons
that you can click to execute various commands. You can move the mouse
pointer over a button and a pop-up tool tip box shows the button name
and/or function.
The first time you start MapCreate, only the Create Map (Easy) and the
Map Navigation toolbars are visible. (You can display either the Create Map
(Easy) or the Create Map (Advanced), but not both at the same time.) To
display additional toolbars or remove one from your screen:
