13. DIGITAL MAPPING SYSTEM

13.1 OVERVIEW OF THE DIGITAL MAPPING SYSTEM

The Digital Mapping System provides RoS with a fully computerised mapping system which consists of the following: -

13.2 GETTING STARTED

This section describes how to log on to the system, ready to use the functions. If you do not have a User ID and password, contact the System Administrator. Passwords must be between 6 and 8 alphanumeric characters, including at least one numeric or special character (e.g. _*).

Throughout this user guide any menu options are shown as emboldened text strings e.g. 'Select the Current

Case/File'. Buttons to be selected by use of the cursor keys or the mouse pointer are shown as emboldened text e.g. View. The use of function or other keys is shown as e.g. <return>, <F2> etc.

13.2.1 User Interface

Use of the system will be via forms and menus, the drawing tool and the Survey Editor. All forms, menus and the drawing tool can be operated by using the mouse or keyboard, on screen buttons and function keys.

The system operates in various 'windows'. Several windows can be running at once, therefore the Drawing Tool, Button Panel and System Forms can be displayed at once on the workstation monitor.

NOTE: The mouse pointer must be in the window which you are using before you are allowed to perform a task.

When using an optical mouse the Mouse Pad must be positioned with the 'SUN' logo in the top left corner, and the mouse does not work correctly if at an angle to the mat.

13.2.2 Logging onto the System

On turning on the workstation the prompt Console Login: is displayed. Enter your username (given to you by the System Administrator) and press <return>. You will be prompted to enter your Password: enter your password and press <return>. If you enter your username or password incorrectly (or your account is deactivated) you will be given the message Login Incorrect and you must enter your username and password again.

The main menu will be displayed automatically after logging onto the system.

13.2.3 Logging off the System

To log off you must close down the system by:

13.2.4 Changing Your Password

Periodically when logging onto the system you will be requested to change your password (the length of time between password changes is defined by the System Administrator). At any time your password can be changed by selecting the 'Change Password' menu option from the main menu. The system will prompt you to enter a new password (your password is not displayed on the screen while you type), you will then be prompted to enter your new password a second time as a check. If both versions of the password are the same, the system changes your password.

13.3 INTRODUCTION TO THE WORK AREA

13.3.1General Use of Windows

Windows can be moved around the screen by clicking the left mouse button on the border and, keeping the button pressed in, the outline of the window can be moved to a new position.

A window which is behind another window can be 'brought to the front' by clicking on the grey band at the top of the window.

The small button in the top left hand corner of the window will 'shrink' the window, this is known as iconising. To do this press the button and select Close from the displayed menu. The window will become an icon at the bottom of the screen, double clicking the left mouse button on the icon will re-open the window.

Message boxes for information or asking for confirmation of an action are displayed on the screen, these must be acknowledged (usually by pressing OK or Cancel) before you can continue.

To select options from the menu, type the number of the desired menu option followed by <return>.

13.3.2 Main Menu

Each user will have a menu which contains a list of the facilities which they are authorised to use. This menu will be presented to you after logging onto the system.

To select options from the menu enter the required number of the option and press <return>.

The current case, case type, database being used and your username are displayed on the screen.

13.3.3 Form Function Keys

The following function keys are common to all screens in the application:

Accessing the Mapbase by Using the Street Gazetteer Forms

Several NAP, Reports, Survey and Title options (such as Creating a Provisional Ident, View Area of Map, Print Map Section, Create a Survey, Create a Report, Position Report Marker etc) require the use of the Street Gazetteer Forms. Use of these forms is described below.

On entry to the Street Gazetteer (by selecting on one of the relevant options) a list of selection criteria are displayed at the top of the form.

Move the highlight along the menu line using the arrow keys, a description of the highlighted option is displayed. Select one of the options by highlighting it and pressing the <return> key. Select one of: -

Once Address has been selected from the menu a form is displayed which allows you to select from the Street Gazetteer.

Searches can be made using complete fields or by using search criteria. The latter is known as 'query by example'. You can use relational, range, alternation and wildcard symbols as follows: -

The table below lists the operators, their names and the types of fields you can use them with:

Normally you do not need to enter '=' except in the following two situations: -

1. You can search for entries in the database that contain a NULL or blank field by entering an equal sign by itself in the display field.
2. You can search for entries in the database that contain an asterisk '*' by entering an equal sign followed by an asterisk in the display field. This is because the asterisk is itself a query operator.

Here are some examples of using operators: -

E.g. 'New*' will attempt to match with anything beginning with 'New'.

E.g. '>MAIN' will retrieve all character strings alphabetised after 'MAIN' in a character field.

E.g. 'MULBERRY| RUMBLINGWELL' will retrieve entries with either of these character strings.

: Use this to search for values that lie between one value and another in a field e.g. '101:115' will search for all entries within this number range. You can also use the range operator in a character field e.g. 'MULBERRY:RUMBLINGWELL' will retrieve entries that alphabetically fall within these character strings. You can also use the range operator in a character field e.g.'1/12/94:20/1/95' will search for all entries with dates between these values. You can use this in the 'Search Reports' form to search for reports between set dates.

Once selection details have been entered <F3> will begin a search of the Street Gazetteer. The maximum number of matches allowed is 40, if more than 40 addresses match the details entered then an error message is displayed and you will have to make your selection details more specific.

If no addresses match the selection details then a message is displayed.

If more than one address matches the selection details entered then a second form will be displayed which shows a list of all matching addresses. Move the down using the arrow keys and press <F3> to select the required address. The Eastings and Northings are displayed along with a default size (which can be changed if required).

If a search is taking too long you can cancel it by pressing <Control> and <C> at the same time.

Selection by Title
Once Title has been selected from the menu a form is displayed which allows you to enter either a title number or a case number. Enter either of these and press <F3> to perform the function of the screen (e.g. select Provisional Extent of an Index).

Selection by Map Details
Once Map Details has been selected from the menu a form is displayed which has fields for Map Name, Eastings, Northings and Size.

To select by Map Name, enter a name or press <F2> and choose from the list displayed. Once a selection has been made the Eastings, Northings of the centre of the map and the Size (screen side width of area of map) are displayed.

To select by Grid Reference, enter an Eastings and Northings, the Map Name and Size are displayed.

Press <F3> to accept selection.

This selection displays a form which prompts for a Map Name followed by a map version selection. This option should be used in the 'Miscellaneous Prints from the Mapbase' dialogues.

Enter a name or press <F2> and choose from the list displayed. Once a selection has been made the storage scale, survey date, origin x, origin y, county, date amended, date imported, map text and status information is displayed for each version of the map held on the database.

If more than one version of the map exists you can use the arrow keys to move to the required version.

Press <F3> to accept selection.

13.4 SELECTING A CASE

13.4.1 Case Selection

In order to take on a new case for work in the Drawing Tool, the user should click on the "Case Take-on" button within the main Drawing Tool button panel.

If the user has cases in their select list, a "Case Take-on" window will appear. This window shows a scrollable list of the cases in the user’s select list. Only cases allocated to this user will be listed; no cases allocated by "group" alone will be listed. Each item is listed by case type, case number, subject title number, (or index number) and authorisation status. An ‘A’ in the "Authorisation" column indicates that a case has been authorised, otherwise it is left blank. Where a case is a TP or a TA type, the authorisation column is always blank. In these cases the authorisation status is given via the Related Title Selection window, which is brought up when that case is selected.

The case selection window also displays the user name, the user’s county, and the database to which the user is connected.

If the user highlights a case that references more than 1 title (e.g. a TP or TA case), clicking SELECT will display the "Select Related Title" window (see figure 4). This window shows the titles involved in the TA/TP relationship and indicates which is the "parent" and which is the "child". The user can then click on the desired title e.g. the child or parent in a TP case and click the "Select" button.

Having selected a case to work on, one of several paths will be followed depending on the status of the case selected. The different possibilities are: -

Case is not authorised but has been Provisionally Idented.

Case is not authorised and has not been Provisionally Idented.

Case is authorised.

If the case is not authorised and it has been Provisionally Idented, then the case extent is displayed and can be modified, saved and closed in the usual way.

If the user selects a case that is not authorised and the Case/title has not been Provisionally Idented (e.g. an FR case or the child title in a new TP case), the "Manual PI Form" window (similar to the Informix 4GL "Manual PI" form) will be automatically displayed (see figure 5). Use of this form is discussed further in section 2.1.2.

If the user selects a case that is authorised, a prompt appears asking if they wish to unauthorise it. Selecting "Yes" will unauthorise it and the case extent will be displayed and can be modified, saved and closed in the usual way.

13.4.2 Incorrectly Idented Casework

this section has been deleted

13.4.3 Manual PI

If a case is selected which has not yet had a provisional ident (PI) performed on it (i.e. the Auto PI failed for this case when it was first transferred from the LRS), then it must be manually PI’d before it can be taken on. The Drawing Tool functionality allows this to be done from within the Drawing Tool itself, giving the user the option of doing the PI on the case using the Address, Title Details or Map Details options. Note that in all the manual PI windows, when data is entered into the fields, the RETURN key should be pressed to ensure that the data from a field has been read by the system before performing a SEARCH or other operation.

13.4.4 Address Match PI

The address match PI window is the default window which appears initially when the manual PI window is brought up by the Drawing Tool. To select any other type of PI search, the user should click on one of the three buttons on the top left of the window – Address, Title Details or Map Details. The address match window presents the user with an address form, which should be completed before the SEARCH button is pressed. A search can be performed using only a partial address e.g. just a thoroughfare name, but if too many address matches are returned, a message will be displayed and the user will be required to be more specific in order to reduce the number of matches. If the user’s address data results in more than one entry being returned then a list of matching addresses (up to the maximum of 40) is displayed and the user can select the desired address from the list and click "Accept". The user may click anywhere in the address row to highlight the whole address.

If a matching address is found, the appropriate seed point information will be displayed on the address form in the "Northings" "Eastings" and "Size" fields. A dialogue will then ask the user if they wish to accept the seed point information. If the user selects "yes" then the title will be opened with the seed point marked on it as usual. Otherwise the details will be cleared and the user can perform another PI search if required. If no matching address can be found, the user will be informed via a dialogue box that no match was located. In the event that this should happen, a match could then be attempted using another application number or map name.

13.4.5 Title / Case Match PI

The Title Details manual PI window allows a user to PI the current case based on the seed point details of a previous case. When the title number or case number is entered into the appropriate field and the SEARCH button pressed, the database is searched and if the title/case is found the user is asked if they wish to accept the seed point details. If the user responds "Yes" then the map is loaded with the seed point indicated as usual. Otherwise the user is able to perform another manual PI search if required. Note that either a title number OR a case number should be supplied, not both.

If the case or title is not found on the database a message dialogue reporting that the case or title is unknown is returned. If the case or title is found, but it is not authorised, this is also an error and a dialogue reporting this is displayed accordingly. Case numbers entered should correspond to title cases, index cases will not provide the necessary seed point information.

13.4.6 Map Name based PI

The third type of Manual PI window is the Map Name PI window. This allows a user to input the name of a map so that the seed point information can be based on that. If a map name is entered and the SEARCH button clicked, the program searches the database for that map. If it is found, seed point information is returned based on the centre point of the given map and the seed point details are displayed in the "Northings", "Eastings" and "Size" fields. If the seed point information is located the user is asked whether they wish to accept this seed point information. If they reply "Yes" then the map is loaded with the seed point indicated upon it as usual. If not then they are given the opportunity to do another manual PI search if required.

13.4.7 Close & Auth

Having selected a case to work on, the user can update the extent as usual. Clicking on the "CLOSE" button will simply close the case as before, but if a case is ready to be authorised, the new "Close & Auth" button should be used. If the user clicks on this button after completing editing, a prompt is displayed asking the user to confirm they wish to authorise the case. On clicking "Yes" the "Enter Password" window will be displayed. The user can then enter their password followed by the <RETURN> key and click "OK" and the case will be closed and authorised. When typing in the password field, the password is not displayed for security reasons. If the password does not match, an error dialogue will be displayed and the case will remain open. If authorisation is successful, the case is cleared from the main editing window as usual and the user is then ready to work on another case id required. Note that this case will remain in the user’s select list and still be available for selection until this case is closed from within the LRS.

13.4.8 Common Messages

The user has attempted to take on a title of which another version appears to be in work. The user working on this other version is indicated by user name.

The user has selected a title to manual PI from, but this title, although it exists, does not have enough information associated with it to get the seed point from. Another title or manual PI method should be chosen.

The user has selected a map to manual PI from, but this map does not exist on the system.

The user has selected a title to manual PI from, but the title in question has no authorised versions. Only authorised titles can be used for manual PI.

The user has elected to perform a title/case manual PI but has not entered the title or case details correctly. Either a title number or a case number should be used as the basis for a manual PI search.

When performing an address search for a manual PI, the search of the address gazetteer has failed find a match for the address details given.

The user has attempted to unauthorise the parent of a TP/TA title when the child title is still authorised itself. The child must be unauthorised first.

The user has selected to perform a manual PI using a case number, but the given case has no title associated with it. This can happen if the given case is an index case, for instance.

The title selected by a user cannot be unauthorised because later versions are authorised. These would have to be unauthorised before this title could be processed.

When performing an address match based manual PI, the gazetteer search has returned too many matching addresses. The maximum amount that will be returned is 40. The user should add more detail to the search criteria to reduce the number of matches.

When performing a case/title based manual PI, the title number given was not found on the database. Check the title number is correct.

When performing a case/title based manual PI, the case number given was not found on the database. Check the case number is correct.

13.5 TITLE ADMINISTRATION

13.5.1 Selecting a Transfer of Part / Parent

The "Case Takeon" button generates a second page which is displayed when a TP is selected from page one. The second page will display a list which will contain the Parent associated with the TP. The TP or the Parent can be selected to work on (by moving the cursor to the relevant title).

13.5.2 Create Duplicate Title Entry

A duplicate Title Plan can be created using the 'Create Duplicate Title Entry' form. This can be used to duplicate both the graphical and textual details of any title plan.

13.5.3 Maintain Title Details

Use of this form requires a current title case.

When editing text in the forms the default setting is for the text you are typing to over-write any existing text. You can toggle this to and from an insert function (where the text you are typing is inserted between any existing text) by pressing <Alt> and <A> together. You can remove text character at a time by pressing <Alt> and <X> together.

13.5.4 Creating an Index Textual Entry

This section describes how to create, amend and view a textual index entry. All levels of NAP users may create a textual entry, although only NAP manager users may use the modify facility.

<F4> Quit, will exit and discard any changes.

13.5.6 View Index

Selecting the 'View Index' menu option from the NAP menu will display the View Index form, this allows you to select an Index Entry to view using the Drawing Tool (without selecting the index as your current case).

A menu line is displayed from selection of a viewing option, either Single entry or Area of Map.

If Single Entry is selected then a standard Index Form is displayed which allows you to select an index by entering an Index Type and Index Id. Index textual information is displayed (Instructions, Status, Authorisation). The chosen index only will be displayed when using the Drawing Tool.

If Area of map is selected then you can use the Street Gazetteer to select an area of the map (see section Using the Street Gazetteer for details). All indexes in the map area will be displayed when using the Drawing Tool.

<F2> will display a list of current options for the Index Type.

After selection press <F3> to choose the Index, use the Drawing Tool to view the Index graphically.

13.5.7 Printing a Map Section

This section describes how to print a map section.

1. From the menu, choose the option 'Miscellaneous Prints from the Mapbase'.
2. You need to specify a view to print from here, then initiate the printing from the Drawing Tool. You can search by Address, Map Details, Title or Map Version. These search screens are of the same format as those used for Provisional Identification described in section 6.7.1.
3. Make the selection, then open the Drawing Tool.
4. In the Drawing Tool click on View to display the area you have selected.
5. Refer to section 15.4.5 for details on using the PRINT button to obtain your print of the map section.

4. Press Accept <F3> to save the entry. To modify an existing Index Type use <F2> to display the options list, select an option and after making changes press <F3>.

Once the new index type is created it will then be available for all users of the system.

13.6 THE DRAWING TOOL

13.6.1 Starting the Drawing Tool

The Drawing Tool is a mouse-driven graphical editor, which will quickly create, edit, file, recall and modify graphical models.

Invoke the drawing tool by clicking the right mouse button in an empty area of the screen and selecting the Drawing Tool option in the menu box.

13.6.2 Mouse Buttons

There are three buttons on the Mouse: -

• The left button is the most commonly used button. It is used for clicking on buttons, clicking polygon points, construction lines etc. It 'drops' a point at the point on the map where the cursor is.
• The middle button 'finds' the nearest OS feature point in the underlying map and is used for example with the 'follow' function to snap to a map line.
• The right button performs the same function as the 'Done' button to finish the current operation.

13.6.2 General Facilities

Instructions are shown at the top of the screen when using drawing tool facilities, you should look at this to see what the next step is and if you want to go back a step press the right mouse button, pressing the right mouse button at the first step will end the chosen facility.

The Dismiss button in the top right of the option windows will close the option window.

The Redraw button in the top right of the main Drawing Tool window will refresh the screen, drawing in all features (as sometimes an option window may erase part of the map).

The following sections describe the facilities of the Drawing Tool Button panel and associated panels/sub-windows.

13.6.4 Viewing Facilities

13.6.5 Viewing Options

Clicking on this button will show the Viewing Options panel. This panel allows you to change how you view the model. There are five options to change:

Scale
This refers to the scale for viewing the map. There are scales given - 1250 or 2500, or you can click on the 'Manual' button. When the scale is set to Manual, you can use the 'Zoom' facility, but when the scale is set to a fixed scale, 'Zoom' may not be used.

Note – currently, the 1250 and 2500 buttons do not give an accurate scale and they should not be used.

Measurement
All measurements appear in the co-ordinates boxes. Click on the appropriate buttons to set the type of measurement: -

• OS shows the Ordnance Survey grid reference in centimetres in the co-ordinates boxes.
• X/Y gives the X/Y co-ordinates from the last point on the map to be 'clicked'.
• Distance shows the distance 'as the crow flies' from the last point to be clicked on the map.

In addition the units of measurement may be set as metres, feet or yards.

Tile Visibility
This facility allows you to 'turn on or off' elements of the drawing. Clicking on 'Constr.' will toggle the visibility of construction lines (when the button is red the construction lines are visible). When the 'Details' button is switched from red to blue it removes those features which will not appear on the Index Map (i.e. those polygons upon which the ‘Clr Ext’ button has been operated and any other drawing elements upon which the ‘Set Ext’ button has not been operated). When 'Details' and 'Constr.' are both red, all that remains is the drawing that will be displayed on the Index Map.

Underlay Visibility
Underlay Data turns off (or on) all underlay data e.g. any objects being displayed by using the Index Map button will disappear if the Underlay Data button is clicked.

13.6.6 Index Map button

Clicking on the Index Map button displays a panel with options to search and display markers and extents for any Index entries.

The panel starts up with the Titles, Index and Reports buttons selected.

Clicking on Search searches the map area in view for all titles, indexes and reports which have extents set within this map area.

If any point of a polygon is covered by this area, it will be shown.

All items found are then listed in the upper set of fields.

Click on List All to display labelled markers in the map area for each of the items found together with their extents. Each coloured quadrant of the marker represents a Report, Notes, Index or Title as shown on the Index Map panel. The name of each item is shown in the panel together with its' type and tenure (if it is a title).

Clicking on Display with no markers selected in the bottom left hand field of the Index Map panel will clear the map display of all the markers.

Click on individual numbered items in the bottom left hand field of the Index Map panel to highlight the marker number and then click on Display to display just the selected items on the map view.

You can display all of the listed items pressing Display All.

The groups of items to be searched for can be altered by deselecting/selecting the Titles, Index, Reports and Att. Text buttons.

Clicking on this button on the right hand side of the Index Map panel displays the Attached Text panel. You can use this to attach text to any point of the map in view.

Click in the text window of this panel and enter text terminated by the <return> key. Then click on Set Seed within the Attached Text panel and move the mouse cursor to the desired point on the map and click. Return to the Attached Text panel and click Save and then Dismiss.

If you then do a Search with Att. Text selected these text markers will be found and listed. Click List All to display the markers.

To see the full text at each of the markers you do the following; assume you have a list of text markers displayed after the search. Click on the Att. Text button on the right hand side of the Index Map panel to view the Attached Text panel. If you then double click on each of the marker numbers in the bottom left hand field of the Index Map panel, the attached text for each marker will be displayed in the Attached Text panel.

13.6.7 Copying From The Index Layer

The Drawing Tool allows users to copy from the index layer if the index map is displayed.

The user can only copy from a single layer at once. The Snap dialogue defines the current layer if the Index Map dialogue is displayed. If not, only elements on the TITLE level can be selected and copied. The Snap dialogue is displayed when the Index Map dialogue is displayed.

To select from the index layer the user must :

• Have the Index Map dialogue displayed
• Have one or more items from the Index Map displayed in the main Drawing window
• Have the INDEX MAP button highlighted on the Snap dialogue

The user can then select from the index layer by clicking on the items they wish to copy. This will put a dashed line around the object selected and show an extra object selected in the "Select:" display on the control panel.

Once items from the index layer are selected, the user can press COPY to copy them to the clipboard. PASTE will then copy the items on the currently selected clipboard onto the title layer.

If COPY is pressed when the INDEX level button is highlighted, the items will be copied to the clipboard and then deselected. The INDEX level will remain highlighted to facilitate further selections from the index layer. To change back to selecting from the title layer, press the TITLE button on the Snap dialogue or the DISMISS button on the Index Map dialogue.

The banded select button (looks like a speech bubble) and the All button in the General Controls section on the main control panel will not work with the index layer select. Pressing either button will deselect any items currently selected from the index layer and reselect the title layer as the current snap level.

Changing the snap level will deselect any currently selected items.

Closing the Index Map dialogue will set the copy level back to the title layer and cancel any selection from the index layer. If items from the title layer are selected prior to closing the Index Map dialogue, these will not be affected.

The author's personal preference is to close the Index Map (or undisplay the copied indexes) prior to pasting any items copied from the index layer. This helps to show more clearly which items are on which layer.

13.6.8 Display Buttons

Mapbase
The system will display the map reference and scale.

Set Seed
This button will set the seed point of the Index, Title or Report currently being edited. After pressing the button you must click on the map where you want the seed point to be placed.

Address
This button generates a small window listing the addresses in the gazetteer which fall within the polygons with the extent flag set. The window provides options to search, display, display all or print all. This facility is only available if you are editing an index.

Zoom
This button will allow you to zoom in on a section of map of your choice. Click on this button, then draw a rectangle around the section of map you require. To do this hold the left mouse button down and drag the mouse to define the zoom area. Release the left mouse button. Reclick the left mouse button and the area will now be redrawn at the next level of zoom. To zoom quickly in to the highest level of magnification, click on the Zoom button and then doubleclick on the area of the map you want to zoom in to.

In/Out
To see a section of the drawing in close-up, click In. To get a more distant view of the drawing, click Out. The closest level of Zoom goes down to 10 metres of map; the furthest level is 1.4km of map.

View
This facility allows you to view a title, report or index on the mapbase without having to open a case. You can also simply view a section of the mapbase. You must first have specified the title, report, index, map area or map version to view in the relevant form first.

Pan
Click on this button to pan the drawing. The point where you then click on the drawing becomes the centre point of the screen display.

Set
This function sets the default view of the map for your current case. Once you have set the map, you can return to this position from any subsequent point you have reached by using the Reset button.

Reset
This will revert you back to the Set position, wherever you are on the map.

Pan (directions)
At corners and at the bottom of the drawing window, North, South, East and West etc buttons exist which allow you to pan half of a screen at once. These will not reset measuring distances.

Title, Enlarge 1 and Enlarge 2
These buttons at the top of the drawing window are only operational when your current case is a Title. They are also operational when the Drawing Tool is in View mode and a title is being viewed.

These buttons allow you to create 3 separate drawings. With the Title button selected, the drawing created is stored as the main title. You can select Enlarge1 or Enlarge2 to create separate drawings attached to the original title for producing enlargements of areas of interest on the main title drawing.

To create an attached enlargement click on Enlarge1 or Enlarge2. The same area of map is displayed as in the main title but without any drawings. You can then zoom into a particular area of interest and create a separate drawing. Click the Set button to save this zoomed in view; the enlargement drawing will be saved when you do the normal Save operation for the Title. See section 8.2.22 on the Print and Title Plan buttons within the drawing tool for further information on printing Titles and associated Enlargements.

13.6.9 Scaled Enlargements

Occasions arise where, although the main subjects being registered can fit into one A4 print, various extensive references required for access roads or pipe-lines mean that a large multi-flap Title Plan needs to be prepared. Up until now, the logical solution to avoid this was, for instance, to prepare a plan at 10,000 scale and provide an insert from the 2500 or 1250 base-scale showing the main subjects. This was considered unsatisfactory because the insert could not be scaled and the type of bar-scale that we are able to create is of limited use. Whilst the ideal solution would be an enhancement to the DMS, the cost is fairly prohibitive considering the comparative rarity of the situation arising. The alternative had to involve finding a way to use the available facilities, and this has now been achieved.

The following formula has been devised to facilitate scaled enlargements:

Procedure:

Use the normal procedure for enlargements but, additionally,

1. In VIEW OPTS select X/Y as co-ordinates* and metres as units.
2. When sizing the enlargement, the ZOOM box should be adjusted until the ‘X’ (left-hand) co-ordinate in the measurements box is the same as ‘W’ produced by the formula. The Y co-ordinate should be less than the X co-ordinate.
3. If the enlargement area needs to be adjusted, PAN to the centre of the required area, do not ZOOM in or out.

Syntegra have given an assurance that the enlargements are always the same size (80^•5 millimetres) when switched on with SHOW

Points to Note.

13.6.10 Scaled Prints

Another mathematical formula provides a facility to produce prints at any scale from the DMS. The main benefit is perceived to be the ability to match the scale of deed plans in order to help with consideration of casework. This is achieved as follows:

1. In VIEW OPTS select X/Y as co-ordinates* and metres as units.
2. From the Print menu, select manual.
3. Select ‘ad-hoc’.
4. With the measurement facility displayed, position the cursor at the intended lower left corner of the print rectangle and drag the cursor east as normal and, viewing the measurement box, ‘accept’ when the correct measurement is reached in the ‘X’ (left-hand) display - see table below for some examples.

* You may need to have the map displayed on a fairly high zoom to enable display of the precise measurement.

* Please note that when producing a scaled print in landscape format, the measurement to be accepted is the ‘Y’ co-ordinate figure in the right-hand display, and the cursor should be dragged upward on the left side of the print box.

The following examples relate to both 1/1250 and 1/2500 base-scales (10,000 scale enlargements would be limited in their usefulness).

The formula is: 239 × the desired scale.

1250**

(239 relates to the width of the ‘frame’ that encloses the map detail on the print as measured between the inside edges.).

** For the mathematically minded, the formula to create a print at, say, 1/500 scale from a 1/1250 base-scale is 239 ÷ 1250 × 500 whereas from a 1/2500 base-scale the formula is 478 (the width of the inside of the frame on a 1/2500 print) ÷ 2500 × 500. As, in both instances, the answer is 95.6m, the first quoted formula is sufficient in all cases.

The figures in the above table relate to three scales, but the formula can be applied to any scale. If not already quoted as a ratio, convert your scale, then use it in the formula. For instance, a scale of one-sixteenth of an inch to one foot is a ratio of 1:192. Therefore use 192 in the formula.

13.6.1 PRINT Button

Print
Use this button to print the view in the current window. The Print Settings panel will be displayed. Set the printer to Mono or Colour, set the number of copies, paper size, orientation and scale prior to printing. Then click the Ad Hoc button and define the rectangular view to print in the map view by clicking in the map view at the bottom left hand corner followed by the top right hand corner (an 'elastic' rectangle will appear after the first click). Following the click at the top right hand corner the Print Preview viewer will be displayed; click Print to print the defined map view. The 'elastic' rectangle is displayed provided you have the scale set as Manual on the Print Settings panel.

If you set the scale to something other than Manual, i.e. 1250, 2500 or 10000 and then click the Ad Hoc button and then move the map cursor into the map view, a fixed size rectangle will appear showing the area of map that will be printed at the selected scale. You can move the rectangle to the desired area of map and click at the selected position. The Print Preview panel is then displayed; click Print to print the defined map view.

Title Plan button
You can also click the Title Plan button on the Print Settings panel to invoke the Print Preview panel to produce a title plan print and use this Print Preview panel to format enlargements and stamps on the Title Plan. This button is only operational when you are editing or viewing a Title.

13.6.12 Print Preview Control Panel

If this panel has been invoked by pressing the Title Plan button on the Print Settings panel you can then format enlargements and stamps on the Title Plan and display/print different pages of the Title Plan. The following set of buttons is provided for each enlargement: -

Show
You can click on this button to show either enlargement 1 or 2 or both in the print preview window overlaid on the Title Plan.

Map
Click this button to show/conceal the underlying map for the enlargement.

Scale
Click this button to show/conceal the scale bar for the enlargement.

The enlargement drawing appears at a pre-set position on the title print preview. You can move it by clicking inside the enlargement and dragging it to a new position whilst holding the mouse left button down.

Release the mouse left button to 'release' the enlargement at the new position.

You can reduce/enlarge the size of the enlargement rectangle by clicking just inside any corner of the rectangle and moving the mouse cursor in or out of the rectangle.

You can also alter the dimensions of the rectangle by clicking just inside any edge of the rectangle and moving the mouse cursor in or out of the rectangle.

Title plans can be large requiring several sheets of A4 to print. The system automatically splits the print into separate sheets. The Print Preview Control panel shows you which page is currently being previewed e.g. "Displaying page (1,1) out of (2,1)" means the title plan occupies 2 sheets of A4 going horizontally and the first sheet going horizontally is currently being previewed. An example of sheet number is shown below for a 2 x 3 print i.e. 2 sheets along by 3 down: -

The Title header is displayed only on the top right-hand page of a multi-sheet print e.g. on page 2,1 of the example above.

You can use the arrow buttons to traverse the print.

The enlargements can be placed on any page of the print.

Stamps
Click this to display the Stamps panel. To place a stamp on the Title plan, select a stamp by clicking anywhere in the desired stamp. You can then click in either the Print Preview panel or in the main drawing area to place the stamp.

Print All
Click this to print all pages of the Title.

Print
Click this to print the current page of the Title being previewed.

Area
Click this to display a rectangle in the drawing area outlining the area currently being previewed.

13.6.13 Multi-Part Title Plan Printing

Occasionally an application is made which contains several subjects which are remote from each other and if the Title Plan is printed in the conventional manner it would produce a large extract. Therefore consideration should be given to splitting the Title Plan into various smaller Title Plans when printed; this is more commonly referred to as "Title Plan in more than one part."

13.6.14 Multiple Part Title Plan Print Preview Dialogue — no longer in use

13.6.15 General Controls

Backup
Clicking on this button will erase the very last piece of drawing done only, and not an entire object. E.g. the last point drawn of a polygon.

Undo
This button will un-delete the last delete of an object(s) provided the Undo button is the next button pressed after the Delete button.

All

Click on this button to select all objects in the drawing.

Select List
Once you have selected an item, or items, the number on the select list is incremented by that number of items. Then everything on the select list can be deleted, moved or copied.

Selecting Tool
The button showing this symbol: o can be used to select an object by drawing a square around it. Alternatively, clicking on the object will have the same effect.

Done
This button completes the editing action you have just used.

These controls are used in conjunction with the Scale command (obtained from the Props button) on the Drawing Controls panel. You can scale objects either evenly, using the Equal option, or unevenly, using the Unequal option.

ó
When this symbol is selected, any object that is moved, may only be moved along a horizontal plane.

ô
When this symbol is selected, any object that is moved, may only be moved along a vertical plane.

Drawing Elements
The Drawing Elements panel displays the different types of objects which you can create. When you do this, the object is added to the current drawing.

To invoke an object to be drawn, click the button. The button remains highlighted until you click Done, or another button. Buttons representing closed objects, such as rectangles, can create filled objects. The function of these buttons is changed by first clicking the rectangle button, then clicking Fill in the Drawing Controls Panel. The button now creates filled objects.

Click on the button showing the object you require.

Poly (Polyline)
this adds many-edged objects to the model. Click on the model where you require the first point to be, then click for all other points.

Line
Click on the model to create the first point, then click the position required for the second point. The tool automatically connects the two points to form a line. Where the MOVPT, ADDPT, or DELPT functionality is used on a line this action will convert the line into a polyline and therefore must be closed accordingly.

Rect (Rectangle)
To create a rectangle, pick opposing corners. A rectangle will appear between the two.

Label
To add an arrowed label, click this button. Choose the point where you wish the head of the arrow to appear, and click. Then click where you wish to place the end of the arrow. A box will then appear to allow you to add text to the label. Labels are scaled automatically to the right size for the base scale of the map (unlike text - see below).

Point
This function adds a single point to the model. Click the Point button. Choose the position where you wish the point to appear. Backup will unpick the last point created.

Text
Add text by clicking this button. Choose the point where you wish to add text, then type in the text. Pressing <return> or clicking on OK will end text input.

Note – when adding text at a scale other than 1:1250 you may have to scale the text to an appropriate size using the Scale button in the Miscellaneous controls box. An alternative to this is to use the label function to place the text and then ungroup the label (by using the Ungroup button in the Miscellaneous Controls box) and then delete the arrow to leave the text at the required size (see Label above).

Close
When you then click on Close, the tool automatically connects the last point to the first, closing a polygon. This is a toggle button and the close function only happens when the the button changes from blue to red. When it changes from red to blue the polygon is "un-closed".

Fill
Will fill a solid closed shape with the selected colour.

This button will broken line fill the selected polygon in the chosen colour.

This button will hatch-fill the selected polygon in the chosen colour.

This button sets the line style to solid.

This button sets the line style to pecked.

13.6.17 Construction Elements

Opts (Options)
This function allows you to change the construction style of the lines available. You can set the line style to marked, then the spacing and number of points. If you require a measured line, select one of the options here. Any of the following construction elements will be drawn in the style that you choose here, where relevant. A smaller separate window is generated by choosing this option.

Para (Parallel lines)
To create parallel lines, click on this button, then draw the first line on the map. When you draw the second, it will appear in parallel with the first.

Perp (Perpendicular)
This button will create perpendicular lines from a selected section of straight line.

Ray
This function allows you to draw an extension to an existing straight line on the map. Select the section of line from which you wish to draw the extension. Clicking at any distance from that section draws the extension.

Tip – if you click on one edge of a previously drawn polygon and then click Para, Perp or Ray the construction element will take the edge of the polygon as it’s starting point (you don’t have to select the construction element first and you don’t have to draw a line from it to work from).

Mark
This turns a selected point or points into marks, a mark being a construction element.

Point
This turns a selected mark or marks into points, a point being a detail.

13.6.18 Drawing Controls

Some of the general control buttons may be used in conjunction with buttons from the general controls area, for example to restrict horizontal or vertical movement. The Addpt, Movpt and Delpt buttons require a polygon to have been previously selected before they can be used.

Delete
After selecting an object, or objects, this button will erase it.

Movpt (Move Point)
This button will allow you to drag a single point on a previously selected polygon to a new location.

Addpt (Add Point)
To add a point to a previously selected polygon, click this button. Then click separately on 2 adjacent points on the polygon; then click where you want the new point to appear. You can also extend a previously selected polygon by double clicking on the end point of the polygon and then clicking where you want to extend to; you can continue clicking further points indefinitely.

Delpt (Delete Point)
This command will delete a selected point from a polygon.

Clr Ext (Clear Extent)
This button stops selected items appearing on the index map.

Set Ext (Set Extent)
This function will set the extent of selected items on the index map. (Extent is automatically set on all polygons).

Lasso
This function allows you to draw a lasso around a section of the map, which will then snap to the nearest acceptable map lines.

Follow
This function will allow you to draw a line or polygon by following an existing line on the map. The drawing tool will 'snap to' the nearest straight line.

Bound
Select this button. If you then click on the map inside a closed polygon or polygons then the system will search outwards from the point of click to find the first polygon enclosing the point of click. Please note that there are some limits imposed on the search to prevent the system conducting an ever growing search area which may not terminate and this area is indicated by a rectangle attached to the cursor.

Props
This button refers to Proportionals. It allows you the facility to convert measurements from one scale to another and to draw sides of polygons whose length can be entered numerically; it is intended to be used when you have Supplementary Plan measurements that you wish to check or draw on your current case. Clicking this button displays the Supplementary Plan Measurement panel. In this panel, the Set Scale button is automatically selected. You can then enter a value in the Paper Distance field by clicking in this field and typing a distance in metres e.g. 0.2 (20cms) of some feature on a Supplementary Plan. You then enter the actual distance this represents in the Plan Value field e.g. 63 (metres); on entering this and pressing <return> a scale value is automatically displayed calculated from the Paper Distance and Plan Value you have just entered. You can then enter further values in either the Paper Distance or Plan Value fields and one will be converted to the other using the currently displayed Scale value.

If you subsequently wish to change the scale value, click the Set Scale button and enter new Paper Distance and Plan Value data as described above.

The Set Length button is used to draw a side of a polygon equal to a numeric value that you enter in the Plan Value field as follows; draw a polygon and click an end point in the direction you wish the correct length line to appear. Then type the desired length of this line in the Plan Value field (in metres) and click the Set Length button; the last point created of the polygon will then move in the direction of the line just drawn to create a scaled length representing the distance in metres in the Plan Value field.

Split
This button is used to split a single polygon into two separate polygons. Select a polygon and click on SPLIT. A red cross is then displayed at each corner of the polygon. Click on one of the crosses and the polygon will be split at this point.

Join
This button is used to join two polygons into a single polygon. To join two polygons you must start drawing the second polygon from the end point of the first polygon. Select both polygons and click the JOIN button. The two polygons then become one polygon

13.6.19 MISC button
Misc
Selecting this button provides access to a further set of facilities via a small window which is generated upon selection. The additional provided facilities are described below: -

Copy
Select the required object, then click this button to make a copy of the object.

Scale
This button allows you to change the size of the object, making it larger or smaller. Click on the object, click Scale and drag the shape until it is the required size. The Un/Equal option can be chosen from the General Controls panel so that objects can be distorted as they are scaled.

Move
To move a selected object, click this button. When you have reached the required point for the object, click the drawing to complete the move.

Front
If two or more objects are drawn overlapping, the tool will always show the last object on top. Selecting an object, then clicking on this button, will bring that object to the top.

Back
This function reverses the above.

Group
Selecting several objects, then clicking this button, defines them as a single group. Any subsequent functions will be carried out on the entire group of objects.

Ungrp
This function reverses the above.

Rotate
Select an object, then click on this button to rotate the object.

13.6.20 Palettes Panel
This panel contains the following buttons: -

Edge
This function changes the colour of the outline border to the colour you specify: available colours: White, Ultramarine violet, Light yellow, Forest green, Deep ochre, Scarlet, Ultramarine Deep.

Fill
This function will fill the object, if you have drawn a closed object, with the colour you specify from the following: White, Violet, Lemon yellow, Green, Ochre, Pastel Rose, Pastel blue.

Label
This function changes the colour of the text being entered when the LABEL button is in use.

Text
This function changes the colour of the text being entered when the TEXT button is in use.

Borders
A variety of border thicknesses are available. To create a border around a polygon, select the polygon and click the appropriate border button. The colour of the border is determined by the selected edge colour.

You can flip the border to the outside by clicking on FLIP ALL or you can flip selected parts of the border by clicking on FLIP ONE and clicking on the part of the border you wish to flip.

Selecting another edge colour will not change the border colour but will change the colour of the line used to draw the polygon. To change the colour of the border you need to select the colour of edge you want and press the appropriate border button again. Then choose the black edge colour to return the line to black.

The UNBORDER button wil remove the border and leave the polygon.

Hatch
This is used to select the colour that will be used when a polygon is hatch-filled.

Three 'Intersect' options are provided:

Line which indicates the points at which 2 selected polygons intersect.

Polygon is used in conjunction with the index map and it draws one or more filled polygons arising from the intersection between selected polygons in the active case and any polygons being displayed from the index map. If more than one polygon is generated then they are generated as distinct objects, each selectable in their own right. This can be used to bring forward references from Research Areas etc as follows: -

This will create polygons for the relevant overlapping polygons on the underlay, including any tints.

Circles which indicates the points at which 2 selected circles intersect.

Grid
A button on the Drawing Tool displays a 100m² grid over the mapping, title and index layers of the main drawing window.

The 1km² grid button is next to the 100m² grid button.

Both buttons display blue grids that are independent of each other.

The grid is displayed for the current screen area. If the user pans or changes the zoom level, they should also click the grid button off and then back on again. This will redisplay the grid for the new screen area.

13.6.23 WIN SAVE Button

Prior to pressing the WIN SAVE button, the user should size and position the windows as required.

Positions of windows are not stored automatically! The user must press WINSAVE when they wish to retain window positions.

13.6.24 Multiple Clipboard Functionality

COPY Button
The COPY button will copy the selected items to the next available clipboard. The next available clipboard can be defined as the current clipboard if it is empty, or the next clipboard if the current clipboard is not empty. This facilitates a 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, and so on cycle through the clipboard.

The newly selected clipboard will be the clipboard that has been copied into.

If nothing is selected when the COPY button is pressed, an error message will be displayed.

PASTE Button
The PASTE button will paste from the currently selected clipboard to the title layer.

If there is nothing on the current clipboard when the PASTE button is pressed, an error message will be displayed.

DISPLAY Button
The DISPLAY button will display the Clipboard dialogue. This will display the contents of each of the four clipboards.

Clipboard Dialogue
The Clipboard dialogue will appear when the DISPLAY button is pressed on the main control panel. It can be used to determine which clipboard is selected.

Above each clipboard is a button that can be used to select a different clipboard. The currently highlighted button denotes which clipboard is current. This is set to Clipboard 1 initially.

Before pressing PASTE, the user should click on the clipboard they wish to paste from.

The Number box is incremented by use of the up and down arrow buttons. This number value then appears in all 'ros-stamp3' type 'stamp's.

13.10 TITLE IMAGE VIEWER TOOL
This tool will be available as a separate application to the Image tool and will be called from users' Open Window menus.

13.10.1 Start-up
When the tool is first started, a check will be done to see if the user had an image displayed the last time they used the Title Image Viewer. If there was an image displayed, this will be displayed automatically.

If the version of this automatically displayed title is not the highest authorised version any more, then the latest (highest) authorised version will be used instead. If this has no attached supplementary plan images, an error message will be displayed and no image will be retrieved. If it does have attached supplementary plans and these include the previously viewed one, it will be displayed. If there are attached supplementary plans but these do not include the previously viewed one, the first image for the first supplementary plan will be displayed.

13.10.2 PRINT Button
When the user presses the PRINT button, the PRINT button will be highlighted and then a single A4 page will be printed. This will contain the current image overlaid by any stamps it may have. The print will look identical to the equivalent print from the Image Tool or the Batch Print Tool (following IR 205099 fix). Following queuing of the print the PRINT button will be un-highlighted.

The print will be queued to the user's default printer. If the Colour radio button is highlighted, the print will be in colour, otherwise it will be in mono.

13.10.3 EXIT Button
A dialogue similar to the exit dialogue in the Drawing Tool will be displayed with two buttons YES (default) and NO. If the user presses NO, the dialogue will close and program will continue. If the user presses YES, a note of the currently displayed image will be saved (if one is displayed). The program will then exit.

The highest authorised version of a title will always be used.

The Supplementary Plan Images Total and Current Image display items will then be updated.

The list box will display the image name and image name suffix, which will give something like "FFE901-1", for each supplementary plan related to the current title.

When a different entry is selected, the first image for that supplementary plan will be loaded. The Current Image Display Item should be set to 1. The Supplementary Plan Images Total Display Item should be set to the total number of images relating to the current Supplementary Plan.

13.10.7 Mono/Colour Print Radio Buttons
The Mono radio button will be defaulted to Mono at start-up. The Mono and Colour buttons can then be toggled. Depending on which button is pressed, a different print will be sent to the printer when the PRINT button is pressed.

13.10.8 X/Y Co-ordinate Display Items
The co-ordinate display items will display the number of world co-ordinates from the X, Y position of the last click on the image. The first click is assumed to be 0, 0 at startup.

13.10.9 PAN Button
When pressed, the PAN button allows the user to click on the viewer. The image will be panned to centre at the click position. The user is not be able to pan off the image.

13.10.10 RESET Button
The RESET button is a flash button. When pressed the view will be repositioned to display the bottom left of the image at the bottom left of the view (default view).

Supplementary Plan Images Total Display Item

This display item will display the total number of images relating to the current supplementary plan or 0 if there is not a current supplementary plan.

13.10.11 Current Image Display Item
This display item will display the current image relating to the current supplementary plan or 0 if there is not a current supplementary plan.

13.10.12 PREV. IMAGE Button
When pressed, this button will check that the Current Image Display Item is greater than 1. If so the previous image related to the current supplementary plan will be loaded. If the current image is the first image, no changes will be made.

13.10.13 NEXT IMAGE Button
When pressed, this button will check that the current image is less than the total number of images relating to the current supplementary plan. If so, the next image related to the current supplementary plan will be loaded. If the current image is the last image, no changes will be made.

13.10.14 REDRAW
This button causes a refresh of all open windows.

Direction Buttons (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW)

These buttons will pan the view in the desired direction up to the maximum and minimum limits of the displayed page (e.g. once at the top of the page, pressing N should have no effect).

Viewer
This will display the current image and any associated stamps. It will be blank if there is no current image. It will take a few seconds to update when the current image is changed.
