Elements Characteristics
When the elements (texts,
symbols and legends) are first inserted in the map they might not be
presented the way you wish. SCARTA allows you to change their characteristics
afterwards.
This text box is
subdivided in three parts: Texts, Legends
and
Symbols, where you will be able to define
each one's characteristics. There are two options for
the elements already inserted in the drawing area: either Update or Retrieve
their characteristics, selecting it beforehand.
