Hello,

I am using Manifold release 9.0.174.0 and cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the virtual layer to appear. Can anyone help me with that - or direct me to the right tutorial I might be missing?

Thanks - Paul Speed

Hello Speedy,

Step one, upgrade to 9.0.181 version. This will get you up to todays expectation of soon to be released new version. Available at https://manifold.net/updates/download_9.shtml

It is and always has been better to keep updated to the current stable release. The Manual reflects as current a change as possible. v9.0.178.6 introduced much of the virtual layers such as legends, grid, etc.

Dear Oeaulong

Upgrade done - let's see if I can find how the virtual layers works now..

Thanks,

Speedy

Hello - My Manifold is now updated - but I still cannot see the virtual layers (N Arrow, Scale bar & Grid) appearing in my layers pane. Any other suggestions?

Thanks. Paul

What, exactly, are you doing? For example, are you opening a map, a drawing, or an image? What, exactly, does your Help - About dialog say about your installation?

I think in M9, currently you can only access scale bar / N arrow etc in a Layout component, not in Map, Drawing or Image components. In M8 you can.

I have a single drawing, single image, and map windows all open in M9. The so called virtual layers are present in all components. That's with View/panes/layers on. (Ctrl + 3) for the shortcut.

Yes, they're available in all of the "map" style components (maps, drawings, images). Respectfully suggest a reread of the topics for those, starting with the Layers pane topic and then the various specific topics such as the North Arrows topic. Useful illustrations in those, as well.

Thank you .
