Global Mapper v26.0

Map Layout scripting

Hi,

is there any way to script map layout templates? For example, for any given loaded data set (gmw), i'd like to create a gms (script ) that will ask for a capture date (as variable eg. DEFINE_VAR NAME="CapDate) that will be populated in LAYOUT_ELEMENT as a text, and be part of exported map (PDF). ... it seams that %CapDate% does not work ...

Cheers
