About Transparent Command Settings

Use Transparent Command settings to control how you are prompted when you use a Civil transparent command.

The Transparent Command settings are specified on the Ambient Settings tab in the Edit Drawing Settings dialog box. In addition to the specific Transparent Command settings, many of the transparent commands are affected by other settings on the Ambient Settings tab.

Note: Angle, Direction, and Lat Long ambient settings are set to a single unit type (degree, grad or radian) and format (digital or various degree/minute/second formats for degrees). You will have to change these settings, if you wish to use a different unit/format for angles, bearings or latitudes/longitudes.

You can use the Transparent Command settings to control the following prompts for transparent commands:

• Whether you are prompted for 3D points
• The prompt order for X/Y
• The prompt order for easting/northing
• The prompt order for latitude/longitude

The Transparent Command settings are drawing ambient settings that can be overridden at either the object (feature) level or at the individual command level.
