Compatible Unit Rule Editor

Used to view existing compatible unit rules and their associated rule attributes. Administrators and other users with unit configuration capabilities can also use this dialog to create and modify unit rules for feature types.

Setting	Description
Feature	Specifies the feature type to which the displayed compatible unit rules are applicable. These rules are displayed in the Compatible Unit Rules grid.
Class Code Editor	Opens the Class Code Editor, which displays existing class codes. Administrators can use this dialog to create new class codes and modify the names of existing class codes.
FILTERS	Filter criteria can be applied to obtain a more specific list of rules for the selected feature type. If no filter criteria are applied, the Compatible Unit Rules grid displays all the existing compatible unit rules for the selected feature type.
CU ID	Filters existing compatible unit rules for the selected feature type by the specified ID code. If the Match Exactly is checked, only an exact match is displayed; otherwise, partial matches are shown. Matches are not case sensitive.
Class Code	Filters existing compatible unit rules for the selected feature type by the specified class code. If the Match Exactly is checked, only exact matches are displayed; otherwise, partial matches are shown. Matches are not case sensitive.
CU Name	Filters existing compatible unit rules for the selected feature type by the specified descriptive string. If the Match Exactly is checked, only exact matches are displayed; otherwise, partial matches are shown. Matches are not case sensitive.
Rule Attributes grid	Filters existing compatible unit rules for the selected feature type according to the specified combinations of rule attribute names and values. Specifying an attribute requires the use of the New button (see below). If the Use Pinning Logic is checked, the list in the Compatible Unit Rules grid is filtered by the same logic used by Bentley OpenUtilities Designer in processing compatible unit rules and identifying potential matches for automatic unit assignment. With pinning logic, unspecified attribute values are treated as wildcards (e.g., they are assumed to match). If the Use Pinning Logic is not checked, normal logic is used, which involves a stricter match. With normal logic, the grid displays only those unit rules whose attribute definitions exactly match the set of attribute criteria specified in the Rule Attributes grid. The width of the Name and Value columns can be changed by dragging the column splitters horizontally. The list of attributes can be sorted in ascending or descending order by clicking the column headers.
New	Creates a new row on the Rule Attributes grid and displays the first valid attribute name for the selected feature type (or displays an empty cell if no attribute names have been configured for the feature type). Double-clicking this default value displays a drop-down list from which a different attribute name can be selected. The corresponding attribute value is specified by selecting it from a drop-down list in the Value column or by typing it directly in the empty cell.
Delete	Deletes a selected rule attribute and value from the Rule Attributes grid.
Apply All Filters	Refreshes the Compatible Unit Rules grid, displaying rules that match the criteria specified by the current filter settings.
Clear All Filters	Clears all the text es, check es, and grids for specifying filter criteria.
COMPATIBLE UNIT RULES GRID	The Compatible Unit Rules grid displays unit rules for the selected feature type. By default, all existing rules are displayed for the feature type. To obtain a filtered display of rules based on current filter criteria, click the Apply All Filters button (see above). Each unit rule listed in the Compatible Unit Rules grid is shown with its ID, class code, and name. Privileged users can change the CU ID and Class Code fields by double-clicking the cell to display drop-down lists of available values. The width of the columns can be changed by dragging the column splitters horizontally. The list of attributes can be sorted in ascending or descending order by clicking the column headers.
New	Creates a new row in the Compatible Unit Rules grid and displays the first compatible unit ID on the list of available units for the selected feature type. Double-clicking this default value displays a drop-down list from which a different unit ID can be selected. The Class Code value can also be changed by double-clicking the current value to display a list of available class codes. The CU Name field is driven by the CU ID field and is therefore not editable.
Delete	Deletes a selected rule and its associated rule attributes from the Compatible Unit Rules grid and the Rule Attributes grid, respectively.
RULE ATTRIBUTES GRID	The Rule Attributes grid displays the names and values of attributes associated with the rule selected in the Compatible Unit Rules grid. Privileged users can change the Name and Value fields by double-clicking the cells.
New	Creates a new row in the Rule Attributes grid and displays the first attribute on the list of available attributes for the selected feature type. Double-clicking this default selection displays a drop-down list from which a different attribute can be selected. The Value field can be changed by double-clicking the cell and typing a new value.
Delete	Deletes a selected rule attribute from the Rule Attributes grid.
OK	Closes the dialog and saves any changes to the unit rules. This button is not available in read-only mode.
Cancel	Closes the dialog without saving any changes.
Apply	Applies any changes in the unit rules to the selected feature type. This button is not available in read-only mode.
Help	Opens the online Help topic for this dialog.
