Adjusting Views
Undo last removes the most recently placed Street Spotter text. You can use this option as
many times as there are blocks of text, even if you change the view after placing text.
Clear all removes all Street Spotter text from the view.
Find opens the Locate Street or Intersection menu, as explained in the next section.
OK saves changes and closes the menu.
Cancel closes the menu without saving changes.
Locating Streets or Intersections
The Locate Street or Intersection
menu helps you find a street or
intersection that appears in your
database.
1. Set up your view to include the
streets or intersections that you
wish to find.
2. Select Setup > Street Spotter to
open the Street Spotter menu.
3. Click Find to open the Locate
Street or Intersection menu.
4. Select Strict and/or Bound
w/view to facilitate finding the
desired street(s). Bound w/view
causes only the streets appearing
in the current view to appear in
the list. Strict causes the extensions of streets (St., Rd., etc.) to appear, making it easier
determine the right street if there are multiple streets with similar names.

5. Enter the zoom range in the Zoom range text box.
6. Set Color 1 and Color 2 to the desired color for your streets. Color 1 is used for the street
selected from the left box, and Color 2 is used for the street selected from the right box.
7. From the list of letters below each box, click the first letter of the name of both streets (or the
same letter for both boxes if you are looking for a single street) to list all the streets that begin
with that letter.
8. If you are looking for an intersection, select one of the intersecting streets from the left list
box and the other street from the right list box. If you are looking for a single street, select it
in both boxes.
