Description: change linear symbols (linetype) relative to points code

TopoLT toolbar:

Menu: TopoLT » Symbols » Change linear symbols by code

This command functions only if linear symbols were correctly defined in codes interpretation file.

The change of line type is realized for the following entities: lines, arcs, circles, polylines.

Program analyses the way to attribute a line type by the biggest number of points found on the selected entity, which have attributed a linear code. In case only two points with different codes are found (as in lines case), then the code with less importance order will be considered.

Observation: this command will not realize a totally correct changing of linear symbols, because it is difficult for operator that executes field measurements to introduce codes that describe points accurate. But, for experienced operators that work with codes, this command will make work at office easier because after linking points with lines and polylines, by applying this command a large part of linear symbols will change automatically. Still, to be sure these symbols were correctly changed it is recommended to make a check.
