Building a Map
The Build command on the Map menu is used to build the active executable map.
The Build command analyzes the logical interfaces within map rules, and if the
analysis is successful, compiles the map. Analysis includes checking for missing
rules, invalid rules, invalid card definitions, verifying map references, and verifying
the arguments of functions. Analysis also looks for circular map references - maps
that reference one another.
The results appear on the Build Results tab in the organizer window.
To build a map
1 In the Navigator, select the map to be built.
2 From the Map menu, choose Build.
Or, click
(Build).
The Building Map dialog box appears briefly and closes automatically.
The results of the build display on the Build Results tab in the organizer window.
An empty Build Results page indicates that there were no errors.
Note To automatically open the organizer window when build errors occur, set that
option. From the Tools menu, choose Options, select Organizer Window, and
enable the Show only on errors check box.
If you build a map and get an error, the error appears on the Build Results tab in
