Saving Layout Templates

If you create a map layout you want to use more than once, you can save it as a template for later use. To save a layout, click .

You can save the following items on the AOI Print View tab for each project:

The following table explains how the template saves the different elements of each layout.

Item	What is saved
Page	Page size and orientation.
Map	Location on the page only, based on the upper left corner of the map.
North Arrow	Type, size, and location on the page.
Title block	Type, size, and location on the page. The template also includes anything saved with the title block (company name, logo, and title block size).
Scale bar	Length, type, and location on the page.
Legends	Acts as a placeholder only and saves the location on the page, but not the specific legend. If you apply a template with a legend placeholder to a map that has a legend, the legend is positioned according to the placeholder location in the template.
XY or Lat/Long Coordinates	Not saved with the template. If you apply a template to a map that has XY and/or Lat/Long coordinates marked, these remain on the map.
Text boxes, shapes, lines, and arrows	Not saved with the template. If you apply a template to a map that has these items, they remain on the map.

You can apply a template to any underlying map area that you select on the Map View tab.
