Point Symbol

Numerous symbols are available. Any symbol may be attached to any point.

Each point may have none, one or two symbols. Refer to the Symbol Library dialog box.

Each symbol on each point may be assigned a height and width which governs the size at which the symbol is displayed. The height and width may be specified in ground units (actual size on the ground), or in plan units (millimetres on the finished plan)

If a point has one symbol, then Dimension 1 is used as the height and Dimension 2 is used as the width of the symbol.

If a point has two symbols, then Dimension 1 is used as the height and width of symbol 1 and Dimension 2 is used as the height and width of the symbol 2.

A typical example of using two symbols on one point would be one symbol for a tree's foliage and another for the tree trunk.

Symbols may also be used to hatch polygons.
