Edit the water depth value
Instructions for use
Although the water depth points in the water depth group share the same attributes, the water depth value of each point can be different. Therefore, the water depth value cannot pass the Edit Grouping properties Uniform Settings. You can make modifications through the Depth Points Object Properties panel, or edit the depth values for each depth point individually in the Sounding Group Management panel.
Manually editing the water depth value is typically required in the following scenarios:
- Water Depth Data Update: In the process of chart drawing or updating, if new water depth survey data or environmental change information is received, the existing water depth points need to be adjusted.
- Ensure navigation safety: In important navigation channels, port areas or waters with potential obstacles, accurate water depth values are essential for navigation safety and may need to be manually adjusted.
- Special marking requirements: The water depth points in some areas may need to be accurately modified according to special requirements (such as marking shoals or reefs) to enhance the navigation function of the chart.
