As a general reminder, the process for building maps for the current 32 bit Theatre Manager is:
- Create or modify a theatre map in a tool like powerpoint that generally allows you to make
- shapes, usually with colours, on it representing seating areas or sections
- individual text areas containing descriptive words for sections & rows, some seats
- a legend as necessary to point out ADA seats and price areas
- Convert the powerpoint image (using Open Office) to one or more platform specific images as required by the machines at your venue:
- for OSX: PICT format was required
- for Windows: WMF format was required
- for Web: an SVG map was required for pick your seats
- Drag and drop the image onto the pricing map window that is for your platform (eg. use the PICT map if doing the map on a Macintosh)
- Place seats on the image as required to represent the venue
- Repeat steps 1 to 4 until the map is complete an to your liking
- Import the final SVG map for web sales - to enable a visual map for web sales
- Merge the SVG map with seat names - to enable pick your own capabilities
