Project Pane - Paste as Drawing

The Paste as Drawing dialog appears when we copy a component and paste it as a drawing.

 

Pasting Tables as Drawings

 

images\btn_show_all_columns.gif

Select All - Paste all columns.

images\btn_hide_all_columns.gif

Select None - Do not paste any columns except ID.

images\btn_show_inverse.gif

Select Inverse - Do not paste all current Paste As columns and paste all other columns. A fast way to use all but one column: click Select None, specify a Paste As choice for the one column not desired and then click Select Inverse.

X / longitude

Choose which field in the table should be used for an X or longitude coordinate.

Y / latitude

Choose which field in the table should be used for a Y or latitude coordinate.

Latitude / longitude coordinates

Check if the values in the X / longitude and Y / latitude boxes are in degrees latitude and longitude. If this box is not checked the surface will be created in Orthographic projection treating the X and Y values as meter-based coordinates.

Skip zero latitude / longitude records

If checked, any records with a zero value in the latitude and longitude fields will not have an object created in the drawing. Checked by default. This is a safety measure so that when pasting geocoded tables that have zero values for latitude and longitude (and thus, are not really geocoded) spurious points will not be created for the zero valued records.
