EDITING MAPKAYS USING TEXT EDITOR

EDITING MAPKAYS USING TEXT EDITOR

EDITING MAPKAYS USING TEXT EDITOR

(OP)
I'm using Wildfire 2.0 Is there a way to edit a mapkey using a text editor. Example: I have a mapkey that sets up my drawing file option and also attachs my drawing border.We changed the name of are default border. I would like to edit the border file name in my mapkey without recreating the mapkey.

RE: EDITING MAPKAYS USING TEXT EDITOR

Yes, it can be done. I use wordpad to edit the config.pro file and I have changed things within the mapkeys.

"Wildfires are dangerous, hard to control, and economically catastrophic."
"Fixed in the next release" should replace "Product First" as the PTC slogan.
