How to Manipulate Attribute Values
To insert the non-spatial attributes values for an object it is required that the attributes had been
previously created, otherwise it will be required to confirm the non-existent category message and execute
Attributes again. The attribute name selected in the list can not be edited. In order to edit them select the
Attributes... option, at the "Data
Model" window.
Observe the compatibility between the variable type and its value:
- Real - floating point values;
- Integer - integer values;
- Text - characters, the maximum number of characters is defined at Length;
- Time - dates, in the: YYYYMMDD format, e.g.:19951208;
Cadastral Objects
After making an association between an entity and an object's name, it is also possible to fill
the already defined alpha-numeric attributes. In case no attribute was defined for the object, go back to
Conceptual Model to create them.
Editing an object attributes:
- select an object in the Window, Label or Name mode
(see how to do it at Object Selection);
- click on Attributes...
to edit the attribute values (the "Attribute Values" window is presented);
- click on an Attribute from the list. Notice that the attribute's Name, Size
(if type is Text) and current Value are presented;
- click on the Value field to change or type the attribute contents for the
selected object;
- click on CR to get a value. Notice in the Value
list that the typed value is presented. Repeat the last two steps to edit the other attributes;
- click on Apply to store the edited attribute values.
NOTE: To verify other objects attributes just click on them in the active window, and follow the steps above
to change them.
