Subsequently, Graphic Styles (for line and area legends), Character Styles (for text legends), and Symbols (for point legends) will automatically be generated and added to the respective Adobe Illustrator panels. Legend information held in legacy MAPublisher documents (6.x and earlier) will be converted into stylesheets on the document open. Legend functionality (Assign Legend Info, Draw Legend, etc) was ported into MAP Stylesheets in MAPublisher 7.

Please note that grids created in MAPublisher 6.x and earlier will need to be recreated with the new tool if the generation of an index is required. Pre-MAPublisher 6 documents will have font based points converted to symbols on the opening of the document. MAPublisher introduced new standards on dealing with point data in MAPublisher 6. It is recommended to save a copy of the file in the current Adobe Illustrator version before attempting to save it to a legacy format. saving a CC document as CS5) may have unexpected results, such as loss of data attributes. Saving an Adobe Illustrator document to a legacy format (e.g. Experiment with your own to find out what is most useful for your own data.The following provides compatibility information with legacy MAPublisher and Adobe Illustrator documents, third-party plug-ins, and other compatibility issues.Īll MAPublisher documents are not backward compatible with previous versions of MAPublisher. In other words, the region where the dark orange is observed experienced earthquakes more than once.īuffer Art can be applied to many situations such as around parcel lots, around road or highway lines or even creating them to find intersection proximity between map features. You can see the darker color when the buffered art overlaps each other. Also, the graphic style selected for the buffer art had some level of transparency applied. The Attribute Value option is chosen and the Buffer Circle field for the Buffer Width.Īs a result, every buffered area (circle) has a different size. Now, the Buffer Art feature will be performed with those calculated values for the buffer width. Those values under the Buffer Circle column will be used for the buffer width. Earthquakes that occurred at shallower depths will as a result have a larger buffer width. The size of the buffer width was calculated based on the depth of the earthquake for every point in the layer. I have one MAP Point layer with the point information of earthquake epicenters from 2011. I will use another point layer this time. As a result, you can see that a concentric ring is drawn every 300 km from the epicentre.Īpplying values from an Attribute Column for the buffer width (Creating Graduated Symbols for every point) It will generate seven concentric circles within the 2100 km buffer. I am selecting 300 Kilometer for each concentric circle distance. This option will generate evenly spaced rings around the points within the buffered area. Lastly, I enabled the Add concentric circles every: option. įor the buffered area, a pre-designed graphic style will be applied. The buffered art will be placed in the existing destination layer Buffered Area. I specified a value of 2100 Kilometer as the distance to buffer from the epicentre (the origin of the earthquake). I have one MAP Point layer with a location of a magnitude 6.2 earthquake recorded SSE of Pondaguitan, Philippines on September 29th, 2019. Buffer Art allows you to enter one fixed value to either all or the selected art in one layer or the values from an attribute column in one map layer.Īpplying a static value for the buffer widthīelow is the new Buffer Art dialog box.

Buffer Art can be performed on both Line and Point layers.
