Resize a Map Icon
Use the + and - buttons on the editing tool bar to increase and decrease the size of the icons placed on the currently active map image. The size
of the map icons remains constant relative to the map image when using the map zoom functions. It is recommended that icons be sized for the
map at the zoom level used most often.

Create a Link to Another Site Map Image
You can link related maps, allowing for cameras to be easily located and managed. Pelco recommends that you document a site map’s hierarchy
on paper prior to working in the VMX210 system in order to avoid creating incorrect, unnecessary, or confusing links. Since a defined area may be
invisible to the user except for a change in the mouse cursor, you may want to add a link graphic to desired areas of the images before importing
them into VMX200.
1. Click the hyperlink button on the editing tool bar.
2. Position the mouse crosshairs at a desired starting point on the site map image, and then click several points around the perimeter of the
area you wish to define as a link. Continue clicking perimeter points until you have created the link area.
3. Once the link area is defined, right-click inside it. The Link Action dialog box appears.

4. Click Load Map and then select the desired map file from the Maps drop-down box.
5. Click OK.
Once you close the editing tool bar, the lines around the link areas disappear. As you move the mouse over a linked area, the mouse pointer
changes to a finger pointer to indicate a linked area. The name of the destination map for a link area appears in the bottom of the map window.
