Saving and Exchanging Annotations
The Orbit Annotation File
Annotations can be saved in an Orbit Annotation File (*.oaf). The graphic properties are stored in the file.
Orbit GIS works with one Annotation at the time.
New Annotation
Clears the annotation without save. If you haven't saved, the annotation are lost. There is no UNDO available.
Open Annotation File
Opens an annotation file and replaces the current annotation by the one in the file.
To open an annotation from an attribute, click on the attribute value in the Object Inspector. See Annotations as Spatial Object Attribute.
Save Annotation
Saves the annotation in the current file/attribute. It overwrites the file/attribute your last opened or last saved as. If no file/attribute reference is available, this function operates as the Save As … function.
Save Annotation As ...
Saves the current annotation in a new file.
Close Annotation
Closes the current annotation. When the annotation has changed after the last save, you will be prompted to save, close without save or cancel.
Exchanging Annotations
Since annotations are georeferenced, you can easily exchange your remarks with a college. Just save the annotation in a file, and email the *.oaf file. Your collegue can open this file using the Open Annotation File function.
You may wish to communicate a symbol library as well.
