Editing memory layouts

About this task

You can edit memory layouts in two different ways from the Memory view. You can set groups for the current map that you are using for rendering and then export the map (this overwrites the existing map if you export the map to the same directory as the source layout). For information about grouping map layout fields, see the related topic.

Alternatively, you can open the map file that is currently being used for rendering, edit it, and then rebuild it for use. To open the map file, right-click inside the map file's rendering and select Open Map File from the menu. This will open the map file for editing. When you finish editing the map, save it. To then use the changed map for the current rendering, right-click inside the Memory view Renderings pane and select Rebuild Map.

Note: If you right-click a node or nodes for a single map file and choose Open Map File, the XML file for that single map will open. If you right-click nodes for multiple maps, the pop-up menu Open Map File action will open to a sub-menu that lists the XML files for all of the selected maps. From this list, you can choose the XML file that you want to open.
