Plots can be output individually or as a plot sequence.
Individual plot
When creating an individual plot, the following dialog opens:
Subtemplate
A “name” must be assigned for the subtemplate. An additional “description” can be stored.
Data
Under “Data”, a feature class or view must be selected, which provides the geometry objects. Filters can restrict the objects of the corresponding feature class.
Display
In the “Display” area, a previously created template file that contains the desired layouts must be selected. If multiple layouts exist in the template file, a layout must be checked. The attributes used in the layout can be replaced by placeholders.
Click on to open the dialog for the attribute substitutions. The attributes used in the layout must be entered in curly brackets. Entering the first bracket “{” will show all attributes available for selection in the layout. These can then be selected directly by double-clicking.
Note
Attributes must be defined as a block as described here if they are to be automatically substituted.
Possible substitutions are displayed by hovering over .
Also during the substitution, the possible values are displayed by entering the first bracket “{":
The current display model, another stored display model or a display-model map can be accessed for the display.
The distance of the drawing from the edge of the document [in m or percent] can be specified.
The plots can be scaled based on their own geometry or on the largest plot.
If a specific object class has been selected as the data source, the surrounding area can optionally be hidden:
You must select the layer on which the object used to define the environment is located.
A secondary viewport can be displayed:
There, you can either display an overview, highlight the main view, or display the network.
To highlight the main view, you must select the relevant layer in the viewport:
Output
You can select the appropriate file format for the plots to be generated:
A directory name can be specified and a file name must be specified for the plots to be output. The file name can be a specified text, a text in conjunction with a placeholder or created only via placeholders. Possible placeholders can be displayed by clicking next to the “File name” field. These vary depending on the selected feature class. The following are available by default:
Once all settings have been made, the configuration has to be saved once only by clicking on .
Additional subtemplates can be added. The configuration must then be saved again by clicking on .
Example:
Plot sequence
When creating a plot sequence, the following dialog opens:
Subtemplate
A “name” must be assigned for the subtemplate. An additional “description” can be stored.
Data
Under “Data”, the data source is already defined with the “Plot sequence”. With the default setting “1 = 1”, all plot sequences of the project are plotted. However, it is also possible to filter by the FID of a specific plot sequence. This FID can be found in the upper area of the “Plot sequence” form:
If records have already been filtered in the plot sequence form, they are also transferred to the filter using .
Display
In the “Display” area, a previously created template file that contains the desired layouts must be selected. If multiple layouts exist in the template file, a layout must be checked. The attributes used in the layout can be replaced by placeholders.
Click on to open the dialog for the attribute substitutions. The attributes used in the layout must be entered in curly brackets. Entering the first bracket “{” will show all attributes available for selection in the layout. These can then be selected directly by double-clicking.
Note
Attributes must be defined as a block as described here if they are to be automatically substituted.
Possible substitutions are displayed by hovering over .
These vary depending on the selected feature class and the corresponding values from the associated line/point.
The placeholders for the file name are adapted to the plot sequence:
For the display, you can access the current display model, another saved display model, or a display model map.
The environment can be hidden if desired:
You must select the layer on which the object used to define the environment is located.
A secondary viewport can be displayed:
There, you can either display an overview, highlight the main view, or display the network.
To highlight the main view, you must select the relevant layer in the viewport:
