NOTE: Each time Insert Symbol saves a symbol; it stores the location of the symbol as the saved coordinate. This coordinate may be used by the Insert Text application.
Defines the number of points to use when placing a symbol. A one-point symbol will be placed with one dig using the current radius.
A two-point symbol will be placed with two digs. The first dig is the symbols origin and the second is the radius. If symbol interactive rotation is on (Rotation Mode) then the scaling and rotation of the symbol is handled as a single step.
A three-point symbol will be placed with three digs in along the edge of the symbol. The three-point symbol is useful for placing items such as large tanks with a symbol where the center of the tank cannot be determined.
When rotation mode is on (ROTMOD=1) the symbol will be placed with two digs. The first dig defines the symbol origin and the second is the symbol rotation. This is useful when placing symbols such as poles with directional ticks. The rotation of these type or symbols normally changes between each symbol. If the number of points to use when placing a symbol is set to two (Insert Mode) then the scaling and rotation of the symbol is handled as a single step.
It is possible to enter a symbol elevation after a symbol location has been digitized but before the symbol is saved. This is useful when digitizing spot elevations from an existing map on a large digitizing tablet.
There are three possible settings:
|
0 |
Don’t prompt for elevation |
|
1 |
Prompt for elevation using the Menu Keys. This mode is normally used when digitizing spot elevations from a Xy digitizing tablet and it is easier to enter the Z from the tablet cursor keypad instead of the system keyboard. While the elevation is entered it is displayed in a dialog box in large letters so it can be seen from the digitizing tablet. |
|
2 |
Enter the elevation from the keyboard into a standard dialog box. |
