Using Site Map Reports

Overview

The DFMT includes 11 smart site map reports, that automatically fit the select PointIDs to the page and round up to the next proper scale, like 1:1000. The Maps have dynamic scale bars and data marker legends. There are various page sizes and page orientations.

Input

If your project has a high density of PointIDs, then you may have a problem with PointID labels overplaying on Site Map reports. By default the PointID label will display at 12 o'clock, i.e. above the data marker. You may manually override the PointID label position by setting the analogue clock position in the project field POINT.Map_Post_Position.

For example:

  • 6 represent 6 o'clock and displays below the data marker
  • 10:30 represents the time of 10:30 and displays to the top left the data marker

Output

Site maps of a range of page sizes and orientations have been set up, and they all operate the same way.

Data markers have been defined for each Hole Type in the DG_COM_HOLE_TYPE library table. gINT creates the map key based on the hole types in the given project and the info in the DG_COM_HOLE_TYPE library table.



Sometimes you may need to change the way the data marker is displayed. You can do this, as a one off, in the OUTPUT Application group by:

  1. Select the Properties button to bring up the Site Map Report Properties
  2. Select the Data Representation Tab
  3. Here you can edit data marker, height, colour, turn on and off the ID plotting and if the IDs are opaque (halo that prints around text)
