Use the Preferences Administration GUI to
define areas and subareas.
Procedure
- Import an SVG image of the area. See Importing a graphic of your area.
- Use the Preferences Administration GUI to
reference the graphic and set preferences, such as scaling and coordinate
transformations, for the area. See Transforming coordinates for your areas.
- Optionally, use the Preferences Administration GUI to nest another area
inside of an existing area or create a subarea. Use the following
fields in the GUI:
- In Parent SVG area name, enter
the name of the parent area. For example, Matrix.
Note: Area
names must be unique across the installation.
- In X offset value, enter the
X offset value in units for placement of the subarea within the parent
area. For example, if you want to nest the subarea
40 feet inside the X axis of the existing area, enter 40.
- In Y offset value,
enter the Y offset value in units for placement of the subarea within
the parent area. For example, if you want the subarea
20 feet inside the Y axis of the existing area, enter 20.
- Save your preferences and exit the GUI.
- Open the Spatial Management Client and
verify that your settings are correct. See Starting the Spatial Management Client (administration).
