Subject: Re: [DMU] Annotations to Maps
The first thing I tried was clicking on the map corners, but nothing happened. It was
only when I applied a dummy plot that the map became usable. Clicking on a corner of the
map still produces no response.

your mouse is on accurately on the corner position.

The border doesn't turn pink? Maybe you have not clicked exactly
on the actual corner? Or possibly, the border color change is not that noticeable to you?
Sometimes, the change in parcel/map border is not that distinctive to me
Try adding an annotation. If you can click on the T in the Toolbar or the Edit menu
option is not dimmed, then the map is active and the border is pink.
You both are
right--I was not precisely on the map line when clicking.
Close, but no cigar. The lines turned pink, then I got the message that
this item is locked, when I unlocked it, all the labels began shifting.
I closed without saving and reopened to regain the labels in the right
spots.
I really appreciate everyone's patience with my learning curve.
