Feature

Effect on displaying in the map

Disable sign reduction

If a feature of disabling the reduction of the sign is assigned, then when the map is reduced, the size of the sign corresponds to the nominal size.

Expand sign by metric

When assigning this feature, the size of the sign increases and decreases in proportion to the change in the scale of the map. The points of the baseline of the sign are aligned with the points of the object metric.

Disable sign rotation

When this attribute is assigned, the view of the sign does not depend on the position of the second point of the object. If in the vector sign editor the image of the ssign is vertical (perpendicular to the baseline), then the sign is drawn vertically on the map.

Enable sign mirroring

When assigning this feature, the type of sign depends on the position of the second point of the object. If the second point is located to the right of the first point, then the sign is displayed in its usual form (as in the vector sign editing dialog). If the second point is on the left, then the sign is mirrored.

Center sign on metric

When assigning this feature, the position of the sign depends on the position of two points of the object. The anchor point of the sign is aligned with the center of the segment formed by the metric points of the vector object.

Disable sign color change by semantics

Usually, if the object semantics has the service semantics «Color of displayed sign RGB» (code 31002), when displayed on the map, the vector sign is colored in the color specified in the 31002 semantics. If you assign the feature of disabling the color change, the sign is displayed in the original colors.

Select text element for refine sign size

The selected text element is assigned the sign size refinement feature. Usually, the size of the sign is set in accordance with the sizes specified in the «Size of the selected part of the sign in X» and «Size of the selected part of the sign in Y» fields (in the upper right part of the dialog). When assigning a refinement feature to an element, the size of the sign along the X coordinate is refined according to the length of the text of the selected element.
