Modify symbols on the map

Modify military symbols for existing features in your map with Military Overlay. For example, you may need to change the symbols if a mobility amplifier needs to be added to an equipment symbol, or to change the Unique Designation text modifier for a Area of Operations symbol. As changes are made, the symbol preview will show what the updated symbol looks like. When you're finished with the changes in the preview, apply the changes to the feature on the map and save the edits. With Military Overlay open, follow these steps:

  1. Select the feature to modify on the map.

    The current symbol appears in the Military Overlay preview.

  2. Click Symbol tab and make desired changes to the graphic modifiers.

    The preview updates with the changes.

  3. Click Labels and make desired changes to the text modifiers.

    The preview updates with the changes.

  4. Click Apply Edits.
  5. On the Mapview toolbar, click Save All Edits.

    Optionally, on the ribbon, in the Manage Edits group, click Save All Edits Save Edits.

    Alternatively, on the ribbon, in the Manage Edits group, click Save All Edits Save Edits.
