Tip 3 - Divide your map into Parent and Child Maps
07 August 2006 18:21

It may be best to work on a large MindManager map containing everything about the central topic or focus. Printing such a large map is a problem which you can overcome with Tips 1 and 2 but this tip may be even better for you.

For each Main Topic create a new map which is linked to the original map. How do you do this? Select the Main Topic > right click > Send to > New Linked Map. Accept the defaults and all the sub topics will be transferred to the new map. There will be a hyperlink from the child back to parent and vice versa. You can take the alternative approach and leave the topics on the parent as well as creating a child map but then you have the data in two places which may lead to complications.

To print all the maps associated with the parent. Open the parent in Multimap Workspace view, select the levels you need, Select All and then print. The parent and each of the Main Topics will be printed on a separate sheet.

You can't print preview this, so you may wish to print to PDF first to check the output.

If you ever need to recombine all the maps, use the Combine All option in Multimap Workspace to create a new map with everything in one map. It won't be arranged exactly like your original.
