Add North Arrow

Add North Arrow places a north arrow on the sheet and associates it with the selected view port. The north arrow is usually, but does not have to be, placed within the viewport graphic area. The scale adjusts the size of the arrow at placement time.

The default north arrow is located in the delivered PrintPreparation.DGNLIB.

The level is defined by the North Arrow element template.

To use your own north arrow, define the variable MS_GEOPRINTPREP_ARROW to the cell name to use. OpenCities Map will search the cell libraries defined in MS_CELLLIST to locate the appropriate cell.

MS_GEOPRINTPREP_ARROW  can be defined in your project by editing the Macros node in the OpenCities Geospatial Administrator.
