Tip: You can use the selector tool from the toolbox to select and move elements on a map, or to pan
the map.
Removing elements
To remove an element, right-click the unwanted element (camera, hot zone, server, event, output,
microphone, or speaker) and select Remove [element].
Move elements
To move an element, click and drag it to a new position on the map.
Rotate elements
To change the orientation of an element, select it and place your mouse over one of the element's
sizing handles. When the mouse pointer changes appearance to a curved arrow, click and drag the
element to rotate it.
Tip: If your map has a color that makes it difficult to see the elements on the map, try creating a text
box and fill it with a color that makes it stand out from the map. Add the required elements to the map,
then drag them into the text box.
