Add a panel to a chart. The chart can be either a database or a standalone chart.
This command is the second step of a three-part process for creating charts and panels. See the graphic below for an overview of the chart creation process.
A panel has a defined extent. These extents can be digitized from an HPD workspace or external file. Make sure that a workspace or external file is open in Source View.
Each panel also has a defined scale, coordinate system and location on the sheet.
SCAMIN filters can be applied to panels in multi-panel database charts to restrict the features that are included in a paper chart product in the database.
Make sure that both ends at the bottom edge of the panel are on the same latitude. This is necessary, especially for non-Mercator projections, to correctly apply border styles. |
Rotated panels cannot be properly exported to GeoTIFF format. A rotated panel will be exported as a non-registered TIFF. |

New panel layers are added in the Layers window.
The panel is in digitizing mode for defining panel extents.
The default mode is Rectangle (2 points). To select another mode, right-click the mouse and select a mode from Edit Line in the pop-up menu.
