Hi Everyone, Great to see some momentum and support growing in this space. I do recall now in previous testing with SiteMapper that auto labels did not seem to show. Additionally, with reliance on autolabels, overview maps and scalebars and in conjuction with Layout Templates i am thinking that Sitemapper ...

Hi Peter, Thank you for the reply, i have attached an example of the layout i will be trying to use, essentially i will have to build the template first and hopefully be able to use smart text to make sure scales and other names based on maps etc. will be correct for every output from sitemapper. ...

Hi Jim, Thank you for looking into this.

Hi John, I am very interested in this as well. Looks like there might need to be functionality added to import a thematic template even for new version templates as this numbered system has made it a bit more involved than needs to be. My example of this if we are supplied say some Flood modelling ...
