How To: Show Panel Markers in the Map Tool

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

This topic focuses on the procedure to display Panels or Equipment in the Map tool.

For a similar procedure using your GPS calibrated dwg drawing see this topic.

 

Explanation

The WireCAD Map Tool can show your Panels (SysNames). The Location of the SysName will be referenced to the Locations table entry. If the Locations record has GPS data the SysName will be placed. Only Locations that have GPS data will be considered.

The text displayed in the Panel Marker is determined by the Display Format String of the Panles section of the GPS Settings panel.
