GIS Attribute Table dialog box

The GIS Attribute Table is a dialog box that allows interaction of a GIS attribute in the table with GIS entities (geometry) in the drawing.

Once GIS layer is imported in a drawing, it is also listed in the GIS tab of the Civil Explorer panel. The attributes of the imported GIS layer are listed in the GIS Attributes Table dialog box.

The GIS Attribute Table dialog box can be opened via the Civil Explorer panel either by double-clicking on an individual GIS layer or by right-clicking on the layer to open the context menu and select the Open attribute table option.

When loading large GIS data sets into table view and for filtering data, a loading screen displays.

Select GIS features in the drawing

Allows you to select GIS features in the drawing to highlight them in the table.

Filter attribute

Allows you to find rows/features using an expression. All the rows that meet the specified filter rules are listed in the table.

Two types of filters are available: And & Or.

Add a filter

Adds one expression field for finding GIS attributes that meet all the criteria specified in that expression.

To use the And filter, specify at least one or a set of filter rules in the one expression field. To do this, click the filter field and select the GIS attribute from the drop-down list. Then choose a comparison symbol and enter a value. The available comparison symbols depend on the type of data and can be selected from the drop-down list:

  • numbers (integers, doubles):
    • = equal
    • ≠ not equal to
    • > greater than
    • < less than
    • ≥ greater than or equal to
    • ≤ less than or equal to
  • words (strings):
    • is
    • is not
    • contains
    • does not contain

+ Or

Use the Or filter to get GIS attributes that meet at least one criteria in a set of filter rules, specified in the multiple Filter fields.

Delete a filter

Deletes an expression field for the filter.

Apply

Displays the filtering result.

Change column layout

Opens Organize table columns dialog box, which allows you to change several columns behavior at once, unhide a column, or change the order of columns.

  1. Search
  2. Select All
  3. Check box
  4. Up and down arrows
Search
Allows you to search from a letter or a whole word to find appropriate attributes.
Select All

Check box
Allows you to select or deselect a single field.
Up and down arrows
Allows you to move a field up or down in the list.

Add GIS features

Allows you to add CAD elements from a drawing to a GIS layer. Attributes from the associated GIS Layer are assigned to such a GIS features, so you can edit their values in the GIS Attribute table dialog box.

GIS Layer name

Displays the GIS Layer name.

GIS data

Displays the attributes of the GIS data.

First column (#) in a dialog is mandatory and shows the row number. When you click a field in the first column, the whole row is selected. When you click a field in the other columns, only this field is selected and you can edit its value. Click a column name to sort the column contents alphabetically.

To select multiple rows, select the first field, hold down the Shift key and select the last field.

A context menu opens when you right-click the selected field(s).

Copy to clipboard
Copies selected content to the clipboard.
Delete feature
Deletes selected row/feature from the table. Allows you to remove only the attribute data or the geometry in the drawing as well.

Select all

Selects all GIS data in the drawing.
