Topics

File menu →

Use this window to edit any settings concerning topics.

Process

• If you want to add a new topic follow the steps described here: Create new topic file for topic

• Visibility: 'Scale from/to' allow you to set an interval in which the topics are visible on the map. The topic is visible between the zoom scales entered in 'from' (smaller scale) and 'to' (larger scale).

This should help prevent the program running slowly when zooming out very far. The icon on the left of the topic's name is coloured if you are within the set visible range and grey if you are beyond it.
