Huge white space on map.

Cmap Tools v.5.0.3
Mac OS 10.4.11
512 MB DDR SDRAM
I was revising a large map by deleting most of it.
I can save it alright, but 90% of it is now white space.
How can I crop the map or otherwise remove the vast amount of white space?

You can select all contents/objects on your cmap, and then drag them towards upper left corner to make your cmap "smaller".

Two other reasons that have made my cmaps occasionally look "large&empty":
1. Transparent objects laying around?
2. Control points of lines/connections, dragged far from their origin?
If this is the case, moving/removing mentioned objects may help.

Thanks jarrko.

Great advice!

There were invisible (?transparent) objects in all four corners.
Select All revealed them. Deleting them cured the problem.
