XFM Advantages
XFM provides several advantages including:
- A user-definable, controlled environment for capturing and maintaining geospatial features with minimum programming.
- Support for property-based symbology, meaning symbology is linked to and driven by feature attributes defined in a geospatial schema file.
- Support for property-based annotation, meaning annotation is linked to and driven by feature attributes defined in a geospatial schema file.
- Features can be created for different plot scales.
- Provides many common placement methods for placing GIS features in a file.
- Feature property data is embedded in the file, creating feature rich design files without a database connection.
- Links are not corrupted when user operations are undone or redone.
