Hi Paolo, a QGIS map composer template is not the same as an ArcGIS LYR-File. It saves only the arrangement of your map composition elements, but no references to the data of your map (as I remember). Actually that makes it easier to transfer a certain layout (location and dimensions of map window, legend, company or agency log etc.) to other projects with other data.
To insert your data in an imported layout (*.qpt) you have to select the map in the map composer, go to the 'item properties' tab and then in the section of 'Extents' you have to click the button 'set to map canvas extent'. Your data should be turn up in the (composer) map. Probably you need then to fit scale and perhaps some other properties to your needs. Good luck, Christine -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Template-Composer-tp5210334p5210348.html Sent from the Quantum GIS - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
