Configure Symbols

The Configure Symbols dialog enables you to associate predefined symbols with the symbol flag field in your symbol files. The symbol flag field should contain a positive integer value that is the same for all points containing the same type of information (e.g. dip measurements).

If any symbols in a file contain only X,Z fields, all symbols in that file will be assigned the flag value #00. Each flag value may be associated with a specific symbol type, size, colour, and line weight. Symbol files that include dip and susceptibility information will plot with "dip tails" scaled to the susceptibility.

Each loaded symbol file can be configured independently.
