Creating Corridor Map Borders

A corridor map lets you twist and turn your borders to enclose irregu-
larly shaped geographic features. Here's how: (Refer as needed to the
"Toolbars" section, beginning on page 35.)

1. Center the Master Map display on the area you want to include in
your map. Click the

, and then

click the cross-hair mouse pointer on the area you want centered.

2. If needed, click the

so you can see the entire area that you want to draw a map border
around.

3. Click the

, and

your mouse pointer becomes a pencil.

4. Move the mouse pointer to where you want your corridor map to be-
gin.

5. Click and release the left mouse button to set the first anchor point.
(The anchor point is represented by a handle box, which can also be
grabbed later to relocate the border if you wish.)

6. As you move your mouse, you'll see a magenta border box appear.
Move the mouse pointer in a straight line along your corridor's path
until you need to change direction to follow the terrain. Click to set a
second anchor point.
