Before a CAD map can be rendered the the content and the layout has to be defined. These elements make up the CAD map definition. CAD map definitions can then persisted as CAD map templates for later reuse.
The options for defining the layout and content of a CAD map can be logically structured into the sections described in table 1.
Definition |
Description |
Map configuration |
A UConfiguration containing settings that affect the CAD map as a whole. These settings do not influence what is drawn but mainly how things are drawn. |
Data filter |
If the map view displays observations the data filter can limit the observations actually rendered. |
Contents |
Contents define what data is rendered into the CAD map and how that data is visualized. Each content is an instance of a predefined content type. Each of these types has its own UConfiguration with settings that allow you to fine tune what is shown and how things are visualized. |
