Create the Multi-layer Background Map To Use with the Example Dataset

Background maps can also have multiple layers. The example template has one multi-layer background map called East City.

  1. In ProjectWise Administrator, right-click the Background Maps datasource node and select Create Background Map.

    The Background Map Settings dialog opens.

  2. In the Map Name field, enter: East City
  3. Set Coordinate System to EPSG:2029.
  4. Click Add Layer.

    The Edit Map Layer Settings dialog opens.

  5. Click the down arrow next to the URL field and select Add DPR Layer.

    The Choose a document for the layer dialog opens.

  6. In the dialog, navigate to the following folder: dmsSystem\Spatial\Background Map DPR Files

    Take a moment to look at the descriptions for each of the documents in this folder.

    • The first value tells you which background map the document is for.
    • The second value tells you what order to add the documents in.
    • The third and fourth values tell you the minimum and maximum scale values, respectively.
  7. Select the document that has the description East City - Layer 1 - 0_0 and click Open.
  8. Click OK in the Edit Map Layer Settings dialog.
  9. Click Add Layer.

    The Edit Map Layer Settings dialog opens.

  10. Click the down arrow next to the URL field and select Add DPR Layer.

    The Choose a document for the layer dialog opens.

  11. In the dialog, navigate to the following folder: dmsSystem\Spatial\Background Map DPR Files and select the document that has the description East City - Layer 2 - 4000_0 and click Open.

    Remember the two numbers at the end of the description of this document (4000 and 0). You will use them to specify the scale range in the next step.

  12. In the Edit Map Layer Settings dialog, in the Minimum scale range field, enter 4000. In the Maximum scale range field, enter 0. Click OK.
  13. Repeat steps 9 to 12 to add Layer 3 and Layer 4.
  14. In the Background Map Settings dialog, in the Folder field, click Browse. Navigate to and select the dmsSystem\Spatial\Background Map Settings Files folder and click OK.
  15. Click Save.

    Because East City is the default background map for the example template, it needs to be set as the reference map.

  16. Right-click the East City background map and select Set as Reference.
