Label Xy coordinate? (LABXY=)

Specifies whether to place coordinate North and East text labels.

Label Xy order (LABXYO=)

Specifies the order to label the X and Y coordinates. Options are "X then Y" or "Y then X". From a key-in, the options are LabXy=0 (X then Y) or LabXy=1 (Y then X).

Label elevation? (LABZ=)

Specifies whether to place coordinate elevation text labels.

Decimal accuracy for Xy label (DECXY=)

Defines the number of places to the right of the decimal point to display for North and East text labels.

Decimal accuracy for Z label (DECZ=)

Defines the number of places to the right of the decimal point to display for elevation text labels.

Function key for horizontal point symbols (FKEYH=)

Defines the function key name for coordinate point symbols that represent horizontal control points.

Function key for horizontal/vertical point symbols (FKEYHV=)

Defines the function key name for coordinate point symbols that represent horizontal and vertical control points.

Function key for text labels (FKEYTEX=)

Defines the function key name to use for coordinate text labels.

Run Plot Control (RUN)

Runs the application.

Button Assignments

Find line

When the Id line button is pressed on the Plot Control dialog box, this menu is started. It allows identification of a polygon that defines the area within which to plot control. The Area to place control (AREA=) must be set to Id line (2) for this line to be used when plotting control.
