Code tables contain a list of feature codes and associated attribute settings which are used to set the attributes of data imported into the system either from a field survey or from some other source. For definitions of the available attributes which may be set for each feature code, refer to the Code Table Editor and the associated attribute dialog boxes following.
Two code tables are supplied with the system.
ALPHA.CTB is a typical example of a code table utilising alpha feature codes.
NUMERIC.CTB is a typical example of a code table utilising numeric feature codes.
You may use either of these tables, modify them to suit your requirements, or create new tables using the Tables/Code Table/New command to suit your particular needs.
