Attributes defined for the layer that are of type Real4 or Real8.
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Width Attribute | Select the attribute to be used to define the symbol width. |
| Length Attribute | Select the attribute to be used to define the symbol length. |
| Rotation Attribute | Select the attribute to be used to define the symbol rotation. |
| Reference Rotation | Type the direction from which the symbol rotation is applied. |
| Direction | Select the direction in which the Rotation Attribute is applied. |
| Linear Unit | Select the units of the width and length values. |
| Angular Unit | Select the unit of the rotation value. |
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Width Attribute | Select the attribute to be used to define the line width. |
| Linear Unit | Select the unit of the line width. |
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Rotation Attribute | Select the attribute to be used to define the rotation around the Z axis of the blocks internal coordinate system. Note:
|
| Scale X Attribute | Select the attribute to be used to define the scale in the easting direction. |
| Scale Y Attribute | Select the attribute to be used to define the scale in the northing direction. |
| Scale Z Attribute | Select the attribute to be used to define the scale in the up direction. |
| Angular Unit | Select the unit for the angular values. |
- Dimension attributes take precedence over appearance dimensions.
- If the attribute defined to control the appearance of the point symbol, line style or block does not exist for the object, appearance attributes are used.
- You can only select attributes to be used as dimension attributes if they are of type Real4 or Real8.
- The Direction and Reference Rotation settings are only used when the point symbols rotation is determined from the Rotation Attribute.
- Add the attributes selected in the Dimension Attribute list to the point or line objects whose appearance you want to alter.
- If a rotated block is nested within another block the scale in the x, y and z will be relative to the blocks internal coordinate system.
- If a user coordinate system is selected, a block scaled in the X direction is scaled in the original easting direction, not the X direction of the user coordinate. Similarly for a block scaled in the Y and Z direction.
- Scale X Attribute,Scale Y Attribute and Scale Z Attribute must be the same for the Scale uniformly checkbox to be selected.
