A code table contains a list of feature codes and attribute settings.
When data is imported into the system, any object with a feature code defined in the selected code table will be imported with the point and line attributes as defined in that code table.
Further, the attribute settings stored in a code table may be easily retrieved via the feature code to quickly predetermine the attributes that are to be applied to new objects being created or existing objects being edited in the system.
The following attributes may be set for each feature code in each code table.
Point attributes
- Symbol, Height Width & Direction

Line attributes

Note that when importing data, you have the option of using a Lookup Table which may be used to match codes in the incoming data set to codes in the code table. This enables you to quickly import data using different coding systems without the need to create a specially tailored code table each time.
