To Specify the Survey Figure Prefix Database

Figure prefixes enable you to determine the layer that a figure is drawn on, how a figure is stylized, and whether figures are created as breaklines and lot lines. When figures are imported or created, they are matched based on their names and the prefix names. All figures with a specific prefix are assigned the properties of the prefix.
