Mapping and Drafting

Using a small but powerful set of operations, maps can be quickly assembled.

A Terrain file is made up of a collection of features e.g. contour lines, polygons, symbols etc. Features can be imported from external files or simply drawn on the screen using the using the mouse. Once created, features can be easily selected, edited, formatted and manipulated.

Groups of features can be selected by name, coordinate range, or with the mouse. Once selected, they can be collectively formatted and manipulated.

Control of feature color, linetype, symbols and hatching is provided. A standard library of linetypes and symbols is available. Custom linetypes, symbols and hatchtypes can be created and saved for future use.

Features can be moved, scaled and rotated. Points can be inserted, deleted or re-positioned.

Labels can be added using the mouse or automatically generated from the feature geometry e.g. distances, bearings, stations etc. Font, size, and rotation angles are fully user controllable.

Output can be directed at any printer or plotter supported by Microsoft Windows. Sheet size and orientation (landscape/portrait) can be fully controlled.
