Create custom styling for a layer

Each drawn layer has a look: its colour, its lines and fill, its symbols and its labels. You can change it for the map you are on, or save it as your own default, so every map you open, or everyone in your company, starts with it. This saves time labelling and printing your plans.

In short:

1. In the Layers tab, open the layer's ⋮ menu.
2. Choose Edit style… to change the look on this map.
3. Or choose Layer settings… to save the look for this map, all your maps or your company.
4. Click Save.

Change the look on this map

1. In the Layers tab, click the layer's ⋮ button, or right-click its row.
2. Choose Edit style…. The Style panel opens.
3. Under Look, change the colour, the symbol and its size, the line's thickness and pattern, or the fill.
4. Under Label, turn on Show a label and choose what it says, where it sits, its size, colour and style.

Every change shows on the map at once. Use the undo and redo arrows at the top of the panel to step back. See Layer style and labels.

To style one feature only, right-click it, open its actions with the arrow, and choose Edit style… or Edit label….

Save the look as your default

1. In the Layers tab, open the layer's ⋮ menu and choose Layer settings…. The layer studio opens.

2. On the Style tab, set the look and the label text. Properties sets the fields of its features, and Behaviour the zoom range it shows at and its opacity.

3. Choose where to keep the changes:

   Choice	Who gets the look
   This map	Only the map that is open.
   All my maps	Every map you open.
   My company	Everyone in your company.

4. Click Save.

Reset puts the layer back to the app's look. Cancel closes the studio without saving. See Layer settings.

Labels in print

The labels you set here are the ones the print page shows. In print mode you can still click a feature to change its label for that page only. See Labels.
