When this box is checked, codes with attrib-
utes can be assigned to lines. The code
assignment is done in the edit line panel
which is displayed each time a new string is
created.
Depending on the needs and later work-
flows, codes and attribute values must be
linked to lines or points.
Example for coding a line of trees by coding
the line:
Measure two trees in the line as points and
code them by a point code "Tree" with
attribute "Height". Create linework between
both tree points. Assign the line code “Tree”
with the attribute “Tree type” to the line.
The information regarding the tree type is
linked to the line geometry.
Example for coding a line of trees by coding
the points:
Measure two trees in the line as points and
code them by a point code "Tree" with
attribute "Tree type". Both points define the
line of trees. The information regarding the
tree type is linked to the points.
