Attach Background Map

The assistant helps when setting background maps in sisHYD projects. In particular when attaching the first basic map the assistant might change the sisHYD design settings, depending on the design information of the basic map (treatment of internal matters of the CAD system).

Note: The dissolution of the sisHYD design matches the dissolution of the background map, just as the global origin of the design file does when the first background map is set. There the design may only be in the correct position on the background map after "new drawing".

Select map

File name – Displays the file name of the selected basic map.
Selection – Selects the basic map which is to be set in the design using a file selection box. The selection of the basic map always begins in the sisHYD designs directory (subdirectory.\CAD of the project directory).

Settings for basic map

Color – Mark the switch "color" to overwrite the color of the basic map design and select the desired color using the color selection field.
Note: The point of replacing the color is to recognize the hydraulically relevant information clearly. The basic map must not dominate and can also merge into the background when an even color is chosen.

Note: When setting color/line strength and kind of line sisHYD matches the level symbol to the reference file set as the basic map.
Line strength – Mark the switch "line strength" to overwrite the line strength of the basic map design and select the desired line strength using the option switch.
Kind of line – Mark the switch "kind of line" to overwrite the kind of line of the basic map design and select the desired kind of line using the option switch.
Show all levels – Mark the switch "show all levels" to make all the basic map objects visible, independent of the settings saved in the basic map.
Note: This setting is standard. After DWG/DXF import of AutoCAD designs, the design setting remains as it is.

Note: This level allocation for the basic map can be fine-tuned later in the basic map settings using the MicroStation dialog.
Finish – Sets the selected basic map as reference file for the current sisHYD design.
Cancel – Cancels the assistant without setting the basic map.

Extended settings

Use for all network views – Mark the switch, if the basic map is to be automatically set with all network sketches created with the settings made here. The map can be removed again or hidden.

Finish

Finish – Ends the assistant and informs sisHYD that the basic map has been set.
