Deploying the non-VC4 map file

 

Once the non-VC4 file has been uploaded to the IMS server it can then be referenced and used in existing or new maps created in IMS.

 

Note: be aware that any uploaded file from another system which may contain geographical network representations, i.e., trenches, sites, cabling, etc, these will be flattened and just form part of the overall background map image. No interaction will be possible with these items i.e., clicking on them to reveal information.

 

From the map feature button bar:

 

Click on the Show Icon and Line Types icon - as shown circled in the screen shot below
