Hello!

I am trying to upload a test map I threw together using ArcMap, but the site says that the unit of measurement aren't in pixels, but something unknown.
Arc uses spatial reference datums for map creation, so I get the issue, but it's the best creation method for me.

Is there any way to get Arc to measure in pixels?
I found nothing anywhere through Google.

Thanks!

use inkscap sily

Actually agreeing with the Waco for once...
Use inkscape. This will help you

I'm not familiar with ArcMap but there's probably a setting somewhere defining how it's outputting measurements. I would suggest opening the SVG in notepad to see what you're dealing with. Unit measurements should be in pixels, not ems, points, percents, or anything like that.

I know how to use Inkscape, I just don't like it.
You can't create custom polygons point-by-point, vertex snapping doesn't work, and the whole thing is sloppy and imprecise.
I don't want to make my maps with it.

I typically draw polygons one point at a time, tracing an image very accurately.
Then, I can perfectly align the boundaries of each polygon so there's no overlap.
I've been making maps as a job for years, and I like being effective and efficient.

There is a way to change units, but pixels aren't an option.
I even made my own custom datum, but the unit is saved as "<Unknown Unit>", and the uploader looks for "Pixel".

Oh well.

EDIT::
I got it to work.
I can open my ArcGIS SVG in Inkscape, apply the Id's, and change the document unit to PX.
Then, I can upload to Warlight without issue.
Here's the test map, in case you guys want to see how it came out.
Looks nice and clean. :D

I guess you can make svg-files with ArcMap? - if so you can load those files in inkscape and probably convert the measurement to pixels.

EDIT: I opened the thread more than 2h ago, so my answer was a bit too late, you already had the same idea.^^

Still Ranek, thanks for the tip.
It took me a bit of solid thought to think to try it.
