| Edit Fields | |
| Poly No: | Key in the polygon number or range of identifiers of the polygons
to be edited. Alternatively, snap to and accept an existing polygon object to have its number placed in this field and have its attributes edited. For a range of lines, key in the two identifier numbers separated by two dots. This field will only be available if the Polygon No radio button is active. |
| Desc: | Key in the description of the polygons to be edited. Alternatively, snap to and accept an existing polygon to have its description placed in this field. This field will only be available if the Description radio button is active. |
| Group: | Select the group name of the polygons to be edited. Alternatively, snap to and accept an existing polygon to have its group name placed in this field. This field will only be available if the Group radio button is active. |
| OK | Change the active attributes of the selected polygons to the corresponding
current attribute settings. If Block is inactive, then the following applies: In polygon number mode, only the polygons within the selected range will be edited. In description or group mode, all polygons with the description, or group entered will be edited. If Block is inactive and the edit field is blank, then the following applies: In polygon number, or group mode, a blank field is invalid; no polygons will be edited and an error message will result. In description mode, all polygons without a description will be edited. If Block is active, then the following applies: Only those polygons which are both defined by the block, and nominated via the edit field will be edited. If Block is active, and the edit field is blank, then the following applies: In line number mode, all polygons defined by the block will be edited. In description mode, all polygons defined by the block and without a description will be edited. In group mode, a blank field is invalid; no lines will be edited and an error message will result. |
| Close | Close the dialog box. |
If in single object mode and the Polygon No radio button is active, snapping to and accepting a polygon will change the attributes of that polygon immediately. To effect the change in all other modes, you must select the OK button.
The check boxes active at the time of closing the dialog box will by default be active when the command is next selected.
Refer to the following topics for further information about the polygon attributes that may be changed.
