North Arrow

The North Arrow Tool is located in the Adornments Tab and is used to place a north arrow or other custom image to your map that is in a fixed position, regardless of panning, and will be carried over to your Print map.

Video Overview

Using the North Arrow Tool

The North Arrow Tool will open up the North Arrow window and display a preset number of images for a directional arrow. If you do not wish to use the preset images, you can always use the browse function to find a custom image on your computer and use that. Regardless of what image you use, the preview panel will show you what your image will look like on the map.

Left and Top Offset - Offsets the Location by a number of pixels. This can be a positive or negative number.
