The Rule Bar is one of the main components of the Map Designer user interface.
The Rule Bar is used to display and enter map rules for the selected object on the
output card in the To window.
Rule Bar
By default, color coding is enabled in the Rule Bar. By default, the Rule Bar is
docked beneath the toolbar. The Rule Bar can be resized or it can be undocked
(floated) and moved. The Rule Bar is where you enter the map rules for each
output data object.
When you select a rule cell in the To window, the rule appears in the Rule Bar.
Changes to map rules are made and committed in the Rule Bar.
Note Non-printable characters are not displayed in the Rule Bar, but display in the rule
cell on the To window as ".
♦ To resize the Rule Bar, drag the lower border of the Rule Bar to the desired
dimension.
♦ The default Commit key in the map rule is Enter. To enter a new line hold
down the Ctrl key and press Enter. If Tab
is the commit key, simply press
Enter.
