Settings

Start Workspace

Specifies the workspace which is automatically loaded when starting MapX.

Snap Tolerance

When approaching an object the pointer jumps to said object when the distance is less than X number of pixels. (Only when the snap modus is active.)

Search Radius

Number of pixels in which objects on the map are searched for, for the context menu.

Smart Edit

When moving an object/line support point then all others in the same position are also moved, here the snap tolerance is also active. This should be deactivated when using RNP as otherwise unwanted line consolidations can occur.

Graphic-Actions manipulate objects

Deleting objects in the GIS also deletes the object in the database.

GEO Update from Data Explorer

Cables that are generated in the explorer are also automatically drawn in the GIS in the layer that is selected in the RapidNetworkPlanner under Settings>GEO Style Settings>cable Layer

Download Background Layer Synchronously

When using slow network connection this function avoids the false arrangement of back ground tiles of WMS maps (Bing Maps etc.)

Go to object

Map size Factor X: Upon showing of an object in the current map, the factor X map size is used. Map size divided by indicated factor, e.g.: Factor 10 => a tenth of the map is displayed.

Symbol size Y: Defines how big a symbol is on the map depending on the length unit defined in the working range. For instance: 10 + length unit= metre, corresponds to 10 metres.

The zoom to a symbol object is now based on this symbol size, as in MapX Symbols are always shown in the same size this option has no function

Zoom reduced with factor Z:  In order to see a still larger area surrounding a symbol when zooming, the zoom can still be reduced by this factor.

Marker

Defines the style for the marking symbols
