To add or modify the graphical symbol to display and identify points having the selected code and the <by code> property for point symbol.
The dialog lists two different symbol types:
- Symbol panel, where you can view and select any symbol from the predefined list of symbols. Click the
button, to open the Select Symbol dialog for selection of a predefined symbol.
- Custom Symbol panel, where you can view and add any symbol available in the Shared Data file.
By default, the symbol for the code will be defined by the symbol attributed to the layer (<by layer>).
- If the code uses the predefined symbol only, the code symbol is this predefined symbol.
- If the code uses the predefined symbol and custom symbol, the code symbol is this custom symbol.
The custom symbol panel has the following not editable columns:
- Custom Symbol - custom symbol name;
- View - custom symbol plot;
- Scalable - depending on this check box status, the custom symbol will be displayed on the map using either scalable or non-scalable setting defined in the Symbols dialog. You can open this dialog by clicking
in the top left corner of the Code Options dialog and selecting the Custom Symbols.
- X scale / Y scale - the individual scale of the custom symbol (X, Y axis or both).
- Rotating - the angle for clockwise rotation.
The following functionality is available:
- Delete - click to stop using the highlighted symbol as the custom symbol of the selected code.
- View - click to view custom symbol properties (scale and rotation) in the Edit Custom Symbol dialog.
- Add - click to add the custom symbol for the selected code. Clicking the Add button opens the Select Custom Symbol dialog. It is possible to use only one custom symbol. If the custom symbol for the selected code already exists, the Add button will be renamed to the Change button.
