Auto-load Drawings

You can choose if you want the drawings from your latest map viewer session to auto load in your next session. Use the toggle in the Draw tool settings tab to turn this function on and off. If you leave it on, the last drawings you worked on will auto load as soon as you open the Draw tool when you next access the map viewer.

The next time you open the drawing tools in the Canterbury Maps Viewer this message should appear

Note: This function only works if you are using the same computer and web browser.
