This tab provides an interface for setting some position properties.
Numbering and Layout determine how symbols will interact with positions. The numbering and layout properties are stored with other position info. However, the popup menus in this tab make setting the appropriate values easier.
The Update popup contains commands that update, auto-number and cleanup the selected position(s) lights. These commands are also found in the Format menu.
Positions can be mapped to locations other than where they are drawn when the "Map Points" box is checked. The 3D locations for mapping the start and end points are found in the position's info. You can set a position's Map Start X, Map Start Y, Map Start Z, Map End X, Map End Y, and Map End Z properties to any values. The locations of symbols belonging to the position will also be mapped by interpolating their drawn location with respect to the position's drawn start and end points.
The popup menu contains shortcuts to setting these values.
"Map to Vertical at End" places the mapped location of the start point above that of the end point. The end point is mapped to its current location. If the position is already mapped, the end height value is retained. Otherwise, the end point's height is mapped to the beam plane. The start point's height is the length of the position above the end point.
"Map to Vertical at Next Click" is similar to "Map Vertical at End" except the x,y location is chosen with the next click on the plot (esc cancels).
"Map to As Drawn" simply sets the mapped x and y coordinates to those of the start and end points as they are drawn and the height for both map points will be the height of the position. There is no difference between an unmapped position and a mapped one that has been set to "As Drawn".
