3 Click View tab ➤ Navigate panel ➤ Zoom drop-down ➤ Extents. The map is centered on the data. 4 Name and save the map. ■ Click ➤ Save. ■ Navigate to the folder where your tutorial data is stored. ■ Name the map file ObjectClass.dwg. ■ Click Save. Where you are now You created a new map that uses the object class definition (page 313) file you defined. You queried in objects to the new map. To continue this tutorial, go to Lesson 5: Create and Edit Objects Using Object Classes (page 159). Lesson 5: Create and Edit Objects Using Object Classes You can use object class definitions as a shortcut when you create or change classified objects. In this lesson, you create and edit objects using object classes. Exercise 1: Create objects using object classes When you create a new object using object classification, the new object inherits the basic properties for its object class (page 313) with default values for those properties. You can change the values as needed. When you query in objects from a DWG file to a map, any styling information is lost. Since the points are not styled, you cannot see them in your new map. To see the signal points, assign a point style to your map. Once the signals are visible, you create a signal using the Signals object class. NOTE This exercise uses the map you created in Exercise 1: Create objects using object classes (page 159). Lesson 5: Create and Edit Objects Using Object Classes | 159
