Settings Editor

Use this dialog box to set up a settings template to control the stylisation, AutoCAD layer and other settings for objects that are created in the drawing when ArcGIS data is imported.

You can access this dialog box from the Import Layers dialog box when you are setting up a settings template.

Styles, layers and sites must exist in the drawing in order to specify them in a settings template. For gravity pipes and structures, a default ArcGIS Network pipe network selection is available, or you can create a pipe network in the drawing prior to defining the settings template which you can then select. For point groups, a default ArcGIS Layer Name point group and the _All Points point group are available by default to select, or you can define a point group in the drawing prior to defining the settings template which you can then select.

Note: Settings templates are not supported for refreshing ArcGIS data. To apply a settings template to additional data, you must reimport the data source.

Template Name: Specifies the template name. This name will also be used as the file name.
Template Path: Displays the template path that was specified in the Import Layers dialog box.
Object Tabs (COGO Point, Alignment, Feature Line, Parcel, Gravity Pipe, Structure, AutoCAD Objects): These tabs group the settings in the Settings Editor by object type. Click a tab to navigate to the settings for an object type. Click Add to add a new row to the settings list for an object type and then specify the settings.
Tip: The default settings for each object type are listed at the bottom of the Settings Editor dialog box.
Add: Adds a row to the currently selected settings tab so that you can configure settings.
Delete: Deletes the currently selected row on the currently selected settings tab. Tick the box next to a row to enable the Delete button.

Tick Box: Selects a row. Tick the box next to a row to enable the Delete button.
Setting Name: Specifies the name for the setting. After clicking Add to add a new row, the Setting Name is Setting-<number> by default. You can click in the settings field to change the name.
