Add a Compass Rose

I did not add the Compass Rose during the wizard when I created the map, and want to add it now, at a custom spot.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this. I read through the Tome of Ultimate Mapping, looked for videos, searched the forum. I can't find anything. I can't find a Compass Rose in the symbols either. Not sure what to try. Any ideas?

  • Update, I think I figured it out by toggling to DD3, and then it appeared? I am not sure if that's what made the compass rose appear, but it worked.

  • Most templates, if you look to the left of your map. You will see a series of symbols.

    Just above them is a green folder and a brown folder.

    Click once on the green folder, and you will see compass roses and scale bars. As you add to the map, more symbols will appear in that area.

    The brown folder is where you can browse to other symbol folders.

  • In most symbol sets, the compass rose will be in the Cartouches collection, along with any scale bars or - guess what? - any cartouches or banners for title backgrounds, and so forth, if you need to hunt around for something different.
