Add Map to Page

  1. Notes
    1. Supported Formats jpg, gif, & png
    2. Max file size is 5 mb for free, 10 mb for pro and plus. If too big, jpg can often compress well without noticeable issues because most maps have simple data.
    3. Best to match map cells to page cells (or have more page cells in each direction)
    4. To line up easily, make sure upper right corner of map is “on the grid”; i.e. the border should be a multiple of cell size.
  2. Export map at 70 pixels/cell
  3. Upload map to Library (into folder for campaign/adventure)
  4. Switch to Map layer
  5. Drag map from Library to Page
  6. Right Click > Advanced > Set Dimensions and set to match the original map
    1. If the cell size does not match (i.e., a map with 50 pixels/cell), set dimensions to scale to 70 pixels/cell. Given a 100×100 cell 50 pixel/cell map (5000×5000) image size, set the dimensions to 7000×7000.
  7. Grab the map and drag until upper right corner is close to the page upper right. It will snap to the grid in the right place
  8. Switch back to Object layer
