Plot Map Placeholder

The plot feature class PLT_PLOT_MAP stores the map placeholder properties as shown in the following table. Some attributes are set automatically, when you create the plot template, and add the map placeholder. To edit the attributes manually, open the Map Placeholder feature class form.

PLT_PLOT_MAP attribute name Caption Description

ID_GRIDCROSS_TYPE

GRIDCROSS_SUPPRESS_LABELS

Suppress Labels Tolerance

Specifies a tolerance that suppresses the creation of grid extension lines. For example, if you create a rotated plot, the labels for easting and northing might overlap. The tolerance specifies a radius around an existing label where no other label can be created. Enter a distance.

  • NULL, 0, or a value < 0. Each grid extension line label will be created. This may cause overlapping labels.
  • Value > 0. This value specifies the paper space value. If a grid extension line label is located within this distance, another label would not be created, to prevent overlapping text.

GRIDCROSS_FRAME_INSIDE

Frame Inside

Specifies whether the frame for the grid extension line is created inside or outside the map placeholder. Default is No, so the frame does not overlap any GIS data.
