Or load from PRJ file with the From File button. In the bottom of that dialog, check “Perform Coordinate System Transformation”.Ĭlick the Specify button to click thru their list in a new dialog (use the triangle buttons, with the final selection options being listed in the right pane of that dialog).

Either do that in ArcGIS before importing via MaPublisher, or follow these steps:īring up the Views panel: Window > MaPublisher > MAP ViewsĢx click on the green world icon in the top left of that panel.

Likely your SHP will come in unprojected and you’ll need to reproject it to fit your basemap. It’s often easier to just import everything at once at the very beginning. With the major caveat that if you moved or resized you map after importing, you might have to start over. It’ll say something like “Matching MAP View Found” and ask if you want to add it to the same one.

NOTE: If you later add another SHP, a second dialog will pop up after you click OK in the basic import dialog.

Make sure your character encoding is set to “1252 western Europe”.

Use default coordinate system (it’ll use what the SHP is so, make sure it’s projected, best to do that in ArcGIS), format, and other settings.

Browse and select the thematic SHP file and the reference SHP file.

Use File > Import Map Data > Advanced (so you can import more than 1 SHP at a time: eg your new thematic data and a reference layer to help register and scale it into place).

That way you’re only doing an import and not also a reproject in their weird system.

NOTE: I’ve found it easier to project the new data in ArcMap before adding it to MaPublisher.

To help this process along, import both your thematic data and a coastline or administrative boundary layer at the same time to help with registration and scaling the new data onto the existing map. Ideally you’d be doing the import into a map you’ve already designed.In Illustrator, size new doc to approx size of Flash stage.

You're right, this software isn't open source or a full GIS, but that means it can conjure up some magic.
