Herman,
My
experience (on Unix) is that is just the way it works.
When
you unhide objects, they are placed in the new object holding area. No other
option.
In
answer to your question about making the symbols
smaller.....
I
really don't recommend this, but...
Here's
what I would do on Unix if I did not want large symbols, I'm not sure what he
equivalent steps are on the Windows platform.
Go to
the /usr/OV/bitmaps/C directory and start moving the
*.50.* files to a different directory.
Then
run ovw -config to recompile the bitmaps without the 50x50 pixel size
images.
Close/Re-open your R/W map and see what you get. If they are still
too big, do the same with the *.44.* and perhaps the *.38.* files
too.
I do
not recommend that you delete them, you may want them back.
Hope
everyone had a great Christmas.

We have created a map of the
US and placed objects
on the map. When we toggle "show or hide
unknown,
normal, etc", the objects go back to the "new object" field. How do we
manually place
the objects on a sub-map and have
their position preserved after the afore mentioned process?

They will always all be the
same size as each other, and they will get bigger when the screen is bigger.
There is some control over how big they should get, at least on Unix, in
/usr/OV/app-defaults/OVw.
I believe that
Netview is a poor way to teach geography, however, and for most customers, the
US
background map represents a real waste of space on the glass. What I do is
this:
Name the location icons for
the states or regions
Bring up the
US
map background
Arrange things relatively
close to where they belong
Remove the
background map
Move the icons around so they
are evenly spaced but their labels don't overlap.
This way operators have a
relative idea of where to look, but you don't waste a lot of
space.
East is still east, and west
is still west.
Cordially,
Leslie

[nv-l] Symbol
size (Windows platform)
7.1.4 |
|
I'm trying
to create locations/containers to fit in the USA map but some
states are smaller where the symbol overlaps to another state.
Is there a
way to make the symbol(s) smaller?
Thanks,
Herman
