Why is my base map broken into individual objects?

When you import a base map, Surfer 9 and higher versions offer access to each individual object in the base map. This allows you to edit individual objects in the base map.

You do not have to do this. You can collapse the Base map layer in the Object Manager so that the objects are not shown. Then it is the same as Surfer 8 (or previous versions).

Having each individual object in a base map editable does not affect the functionality of the base map in any way and it does not "break" your base map file. It is still a single layer (the Base map layer) that you can turn on or off in the Object Manager. You can also double click on or select Base in the Object Manager and still set the properties for all objects in the entire base map at once as you did in Surfer 8.
