The Map module includes a set of tools for adding simple graphics and annotation to a plot. These tools are not intended to be a full-featured drawing package as would be found in products like AutoCAD or Corel Draw. However, they can be very useful for adding titles, arrows, and other annotation to a plot so that the plot can be directly included in a project report without the need to import the plot into an external drawing package prior to report generation.

The types of drawing objects that can be created in the Map module are text, lines (including arrows), rectangles, and ovals. Drawing objects are created and edited using the Drawing Object Tools in the Tool Palette. Drawing objects are saved in the Map file along with feature objects.
