Summary

In ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud, adding vector-based maps can sometimes fail and return a mapping profile warning. The following steps describe how to correct this.

Procedure

To add a vector-based map to ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud:

1. Select any basemap.

2. Zoom in to the location of interest.

3. Draw a rectangle of this area, and click, hold, and drag the mouse.

4. Once the area of interest is selected, a Mapboard Options pop-up window appears. Name and configure the new mapboard as necessary, when finished, click OK.

5. The selected area is now highlighted, as shown in the next image, with some control icons along the right margin. Click the preview icon.

6. Preview opens the ArcGIS Maps: Compilation tab, similar to the example in the next image.

7. In the left pane of the ArcGIS Maps: Compilation tab are the layers and data of the map. In this example, a topographic basemap is the only item listed. Click the three dots next to the basemap and click Select Basemap.

8. The Contents pane now shows the vector-based maps available, and other basemaps. Select the one that suits your needs.

9. When selecting the basemap, a Mapping profile warning window may appear similar to that shown in the next image, stating that "The Default mapping profile no longer supports <basemap>...". Click the Current Map Settings link in this dialog.

10. In the Current Map Settings window select Legacy profile, and click OK.
