Annotation Properties

You can view or edit properties of individual annotation. To view or edit annotation properties, follow the steps given below:

  1. Click or touch the right side menu to open the Map Legend panel.
  2. In the Map Legend, click or touch the annotation to open its properties. You may touch the annotation again to close the properties dialog box.
    Note: You may or may not see all the properties option. It is displayed on the basis of selected annotation.
    Note: The units are displayed as per the configured measurement system in the project. For example,
    • Line: If the length is greater than 1000 meter, unit is converted to km, if the length is greater than 5280 ft, unit is converted to mile.
    • Circle/Sector: If the radius is greater than 1000 meter, unit is converted to km. If the radius is greater than 5280 ft, unit is converted to mile.
    • Polygon/Rectangle: If the area is greater than 1000*1000 sq meter, unit is converted to sq km. If the area is greater than 5280 * 5280 sq ft, unit is converted to sq mile.
    • Ellipse: If the major axis is greater than 1000 meter, unit is converted to km. If the major axis is greater than 5280 ft, unit is converted to mile.
    • Concentric Circle: If the innermost circle radius is greater than 1000 meter, unit is converted to km. If the radius is greater than 5280 ft, unit is converted to mile.
    • DriveDistance: If the innermost travel cost is greater than 1000 meter, unit is coverted to km. If the travel cost is greater than 5280 ft, unit is converted to mile.
