I have a project that I use to create a map from a location specified in a .gml file. I can get 10, 20 or 30 of these each day and want to make the process as automated as possible.
I click and drag the .gml file onto the map canvas, right click the new layer, zoom to the extent, then go to the composer, match the composer to map canvas extent and produce my map. In the legend, I do not want to show all the items in each layer on my canvas. So I turn off the Auto Update option and make my changes. In 2.4 and previous versions, when I dragged the .gml file onto my map canvas, the legend would automatically update with that layer, but now it doesn't. I have to add that layer myself. It seems to me that the Auto Update check box will update all items in all layers and then I have to delete those items and layers I do not want to show. The other option there is the Update All button - but that appears to do the same thing ... that is, update all the items in my layers and all the layers in my project.. It's not a great ask, in the scheme of things, to manually add the new layer, but it is a step that, given that it was automatic in previous versions, I'd prefer not to have to perform. Or have I missed something? _______________ Johanna Botman GIS / Assets Officer Griffith City Council Ph: 02 6962 8168 Please consider the environment before printing this email notice. -------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail, together with any attachments, is for the exclusive and confidential use of the addressee(s.
