Attribute brush

Function Description

The attribute brush assigns the value of the specified editable field (including the field SmUserID and Non-system Field:) of an object to another object, and only the fields of the same name and type of the base object and Target are assigned. In practical applications, it is often necessary to assign the attribute value of an object to another object. For example, you need to copy the Land Use type property of one parcel to another parcel of the same type. The attribute brush can be used to conveniently realize attribute assignment and improve processing efficiency.

  • The attribute brush function applies to all Vector layers, including point, line, surface, and CAD layers.
  • On the Brush Settings dialog displayed by clicking the Attribute Brush button, you can set the fields to be updated by the attribute brush.
  • The property brush can assign properties to multiple objects multiple times in a row.
  • You can select several objects to be assigned by pulling the box, and the system will assign the attribute value to all the selected objects.
  • Attribute brush Support Across Layer updates to assign an object's Attributes to objects in other layers.
  • The attribute brush supports setting snap. Map Snapped can be enabled in the Object Operation group, and the object will be automatically snapped when the attribute brush is used, which improves the efficiency of Data Processing.

Function entrance

  • Object Operation tab-> Map Editing group-> Property Brush.

Operating instructions

  1. Select an object in the layer, and its Attributes will be the base attribute value.
  2. On the Object Operation tab, in the Map Editing group, click the Property Brush button to pop up the Brush Settings dialog.
  3. On the Brush Settings dialog, check the Support Across Layer check box for the Property Fields to be assigned if the Attributes of Select Objects are to be assigned to objects in other layers.
    Caution:

    The attribute brush function does not support binary fields. Binary fields will be filtered in the field table.

  4. After setting the above parameters, click the OK button. At this time, the attribute brush will record the Attributes of the selected object, that is, the benchmark attribute.
  5. Click the object on the current Map to which you want to assign the base attribute. To assign Attributes to more objects, click these objects successively.
  6. Press ESC or click the right mouse button to end the attribute brush operation.
Caution:

The attribute brush can record the Select Fields set in the Dataset history. When the user needs to perform the attribute brush operation on the same Dataset, the frequent Set Fields when the user uses the attribute brush is reduced.
