Setting Up Your System
FasTrac Millennium User’s Guide – May 2003
The Display Style area lets you adjust the graphic look of the roads in your system. There are six
graphic styles:
Road Style Type Example
Smallest Single Line
Small Single Line
Medium Double Line
Major Double Line
Divided Triple Line
Two Color Triple Line
Triple-line styles are usually assigned to interstates, and divided highways and double-line styles
are usually assigned to state and county highways. Single-line styles work best when assigned to
the smallest roads. Use the Setup > Colors command to adjust the road colors.
2.2.2 Editing Display Levels for Bodies of Water (for clients without .psf
mapping data)
The Setup > Map > Advanced > Display Levels > 1:2,000,000 Water and Setup > Map >
Advanced > Display Levels > City Streets Water menus operate exactly the same way as their
respective Roads menus, except that you do not need to assign different looks. Water is usually
blue (unless you would like to select a different color). Again, you use this command to set
ranges for the different levels where you want the water database to appear. If you want to
display more water bodies at a certain range, see what the current level is and raise the cutoff
range value.
