[Qgis-user] QGIS3 Layout - North Arrow?

Wed Mar 28 20:08:23 PDT 2018

Hi Frank,

In the layout, in the item properties for the map, there's a section for "Grid".

If you look in there, and use the "Modify grid" button there are a number of options under "Grid type".

"Markers" or "Frame and annotations only" is probably close to what you want. 

-ramon.
