Saving an Annotation to the Map Project

After you draw an annotation and apply various styles to the annotation like color, size and pattern, you can save them to the map project so that it is available when you open the project in future. When you save annotations in the map project, it saves all annotations in the current state, and queries created on the annotations. The annotations will be available when you reopen the same map project later.

  • You can save annotation from Project Settings and Legend panel.
  • You can query on annotations and save the result.
  • You can also save opacity for the annotation.

To save annotation, follow the steps below.

  1. Click or touch the right side menu to open the Map Legend panel.
  2. Click the Overflow icon next to the Map Layers.
  3. Click Save Project from the context menu.

    All annotations, and query on the annotations are saved with the map project.

    Note: When you delete an annotation, all queries based on that annotation will also be deleted. Spectrum Spatial Analyst alerts you and displays a list of queries created on that annotation.
