The Export Panel allows you to preview and export maps based on the existing layouts in your project. This feature is especially useful for working with Atlas-enabled layouts and exporting maps in a structured manner.

From and To Fields​

The From and To fields are used to filter maps for Atlas-enabled layouts. These fields do not affect non-Atlas layouts.

  • From: Specifies the lower limit of the range for filtering maps.
  • To: Specifies the upper limit of the range for filtering maps.

Note:

  • The From and To fields accept only numeric values.
  • For non-Atlas layouts, these fields are ignored, and all maps will be exported as defined by the layout.

From and To Filters are helpful when working with Atlas-enabled layouts for exporting a specific range of maps based on a given criterion.

Layouts Dropdown​

The Layouts dropdown displays all the layouts that have been added to your project. You can choose which layout you want to use for previewing or exporting maps.

  • How to use:
    Click on the dropdown to see the list of available layouts in the project.
    • Select the layout you want by clicking on its name.

Export Location:
All exported maps are saved in the Exported_Maps folder, which is located inside your project's main directory.

Important Considerations​

Here are some key points to remember when using the Export Panel:

  • Export as a single file:
    If you check the Export as a single file option, all maps will be exported into one file, regardless of Atlas settings. The file will be named according to the layout.

  • For Atlas Layouts:

    • If you leave the From and To fields empty, all maps in the Atlas layout will be exported.
    • If you enter specific values in the From and To fields, only maps within that range will be exported.

  • For non-Atlas Layouts:
    The From and To fields are ignored. The maps will be exported based on the selected layout, and each map will be saved using the layout name.

  • Reports:
    The same rules for Atlas and non-Atlas layouts apply to reports. They are exported based on the selected layout, and From and To values do not affect non-Atlas reports.
