Figure 11-1. Property sheet “Properties of map”
On page “General” the total number of features in a map and their distribution by layers is indicated. It is possible to get distribution of features by types, but since such calculation can take considerable time, it is not done automatically. To do this the user should check the box Detail by feature types.
The page “Parameters” contains coordinates of the base point, range and partition. All these values can be changed; however, changing parameters of a big GDB will take considerable time.
On page “Permissions” permissions of the current user with respect to the present map are shown.
