Exporting and Printing Maps

Printing a Map

Any map created in the MAXMaps module can be printed in high quality. To start the print procedure, click the Print symbol in the toolbar.

Export a Map as a Graphic File

Maps can be exported in different formats. Thus, you can use them with other software programs, such as Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. To start the export procedure, click the Save as picture symbol in the toolbar.

The following file formats are available: SVG, JPG, PNG and EMF for windows. For presentation posters it is recommended you use the vector formats SVG or EMF, as these can be scaled.

Teamwork: How to Export and Import a Map

Maps can be exported and imported from one MAXQDA installation to a different one.

All the maps that you create will be saved in the MAXQDA project file (“mx12” format) along with the rest of your project data. The teamwork function works in a similar way as the other teamwork functions of MAXQDA, for instance, in the export of memos and codes.

To export a map, right-click on the map title in the left pane of the MAXMap window and select Export Map. Maps will be exported with the extension .MOD.

To import a map from another project, click the New button and select Import Map.
