Controlling Whether Raw Description Values Are Interpreted as Parameters During Point Creation

Product Documentation
Intermediate

You can use the Point Settings dialog box to control whether or not raw descriptions are interpreted as parameters during point creation.

Use the Match On Description Parameters ($1, $2, etc.) setting to specify whether or not parameters are used during description key matching to rotate and scale the point symbol.

  • True. Indicates that parameters are used during description key matching to scale or rotate point symbols. Because spaces are used to delimit description parameters, spaces in description key codes are not recognized. Spaces should not be used when this option is selected.
  • False. Indicates that parameters are not used during description key matching to scale and rotate point symbols. Spaces in description key codes are recognized.
