Edit Auto Mapping Set dialog box

Opens via: Civil Explorer panel > Settings tab > Civil Points section > Auto Mapping Sets field > Create option from the context menu

The Edit Auto Mapping Set dialog box allows you to create codes for automatically assign point styles, point label styles, full descriptions, layers, scale and rotation to all points that share the same leading part in their point raw description attribute.

The civil point raw description attribute specifies the automatic mapping code used to create the point in the drawing. When the auto mapping code matches a point raw description attribute, the properties defined for that code are applied to the point as it is added to the drawing.

Name

Allows you to define a name for the auto mapping set.

Select points

Allows you to select one or more points from the drawing area.

Populate codes

Adds codes founds for the selected points into the list of codes.

Note: This button is available only after select points from the drawing.

Add new code

Allows you to manually add a new code.

Click the default NewCode name created to rename it so that it matches the leading element of the point raw description attribute of the civil point.

For more information, see the Create Civil Points dialog box article.

For example, if the point raw description attribute is LINE ST JPN 2, the code name must be LINE.

When the code name matches the leading element of the point raw description attribute of existing civil points, the mapping is completed automatically when launching the APPLYAUTOMAPPING command.

This means that all points in the drawing whose point raw description attribute starts with the selected code (for example, LINE) automatically receive the corresponding point style, point label style, and other display parameters.

List of codes

Lists all the codes created or imported from selected civil points.

Customization

Allows you to customize properties of the civil point for a specified code. It is only enabled when the buttons are turned on.

Style customization
Allows you to define how points with a specific code (for example, the leading part of the point raw description attribute of the civil point) are displayed in the drawing.
Point style
Allows you to choose a point style from the drop-down list. You can edit or copy a point style in the Select Style dialog box, which opens by clicking the three right-side dots.
Point label style
Allows you to choose a point label style from the drop-down list. You can edit or copy a point label style in the Select Style dialog box, which opens by clicking the three right-side dots.
Full description customization
Allows you to define rules for creating the point full description attribute of the civil point based on its point raw description attribute.

Hover over the exclamation sign on the right-side to see all available options.

Here is an example of the formats available for a civil point with the point raw description attribute defined as LINE ST JPN 2:

Layer customization
Allows you to place all civil points with the same code name on the selected layer. You can create a new layer by typing its name.
Scale customization
Allows you to automatically scale the civil point symbol based on a chosen parameter value of the point raw description attribute of the civil point.
Scale parameter
Allows you to choose a parameter of the point raw description attribute of the civil point from the drop-down list.
Apply to
Allows you to choose how to scale the symbol, X-Y-Z, X-Y, or Z.

Here is an example of how parameter 3 of the point raw description attribute for two civil points scales the civil point symbols in the drawing.

The first civil point with the point raw description defined as LINE ST JPN 2 has the symbol scaled by two, and the second with the point raw description attribute defined as LINE ST JPN 3 has the symbol scaled by three.

Rotation customization
Allows you to automatically rotate the civil point symbol and label based on the value of selected parameter of the point raw description attribute of the civil point.
Symbol rotate parameter
Allows you to rotate a symbol.
Choose an option
Allows you to choose a parameter of the point raw description attribute of the civil point from the drop-down list.
Rotation direction
Allows you to select the direction: clockwise or counter clockwise.
Label rotate parameter
Allows you to rotate a label.
