Create and modify map themes

What do you want to do?

You can save the default format settings for the current map to a theme file (.mmas) that you can re-use. The Theme file contains the default format settings for all objects on the map. It does not contain any of the content. You can change the default formatting settings as you format the map.

The map theme contains the default format settings for:

  • Central topic, main topics and subtopics (by level)

  • Org-chart topics and their subtopics

  • Callout topics and their subtopics

  • Floating topics and their subtopics

  • Floating Org-chart topics and their subtopics

  • Flowchart topics (via the settings for floating topics), callouts, and relationships

  • Boundaries

  • Relationships

  • Map background

  • Notes (the default font)

You can apply a theme to the current map at any time.
