(This functionality is available with the Computations module)
This dialog box is accessed via the Symbol Attributes button in the View/Edit Point Attributes dialog box.
It is used to view or change the symbol attributes of a selected point. Note any changes are not actually made to the point's attributes until the OK button is selected in the View/Edit Point Attributes dialog box.
| Item | Used to |
| Symbol 1... | Display or edit point symbol 1. |
| Symbol 2... | Display or edit point symbol 2. |
| Each point may have none, one or two symbols. Refer to the
Symbol Library dialog box in Appendix 1. If only symbol 1 is set, then Dimension 1 is used as the height and Dimension 2 is used as the width of the symbol. If both symbol 1 and symbol 2 are set, then Dimension 1 is used as the height and width of symbol 1 and Dimension 2 is used as the height and width of symbol 2. |
|
| Plan | Set plan units for symbol dimensions. The symbol dimensions will then be in millimetres (or inches) when output from the system to a CAD drawing. Use plan units for symbols that are to be shown at a fixed size regardless of the scale to be used in the CAD drawing. An example of such a symbol could be a permanent survey mark. |
| Ground | Set ground units for symbol dimensions. The symbol dimensions will then be in metres (or feet) on the ground and scaled accordingly when output from the system to a CAD drawing. Use ground units for symbols that are to be drawn to scale. An example of such a symbol could be a tree of certain diameter as shown in the dialog box. |
| Dimension 1 | Display or edit the height (Y dimension) of the symbol. |
| Dimension 2 | Display or edit the width (X dimension) of the symbol. |
| If only symbol 1 is set, then Dimension 1 is used as the height
and Dimension 2 is used as the width of the symbol. If both symbol 1 and symbol 2 are set, then Dimension 1 is used as the height and width of symbol 1 and Dimension 2 is used as the height and width of symbol 2. |
|
| Direction | Display or edit the direction of the symbol in decimal degrees,
mathematical convention. For example a direction of 45° will cause the symbol to be rotated anticlockwise by 45° from the direction shown in the symbol library. |
| OK | Close the dialog box saving any changes, and returns operation to
the View/Edit Point Attributes dialog box. Note any changes are not actually made to the point's symbol attributes until the OK button is selected in the View/Edit Point Attributes dialog box. |
| Cancel | Close the dialog box without saving any changes, and returns operation to the View/Edit Point Attributes dialog box. |
