Open Printable/Searchable Copy - Global Mapper

• Use Custom Formatting String for Name - allows you to provide a custom formatted string that can
contain any free-form text and attribute values embedded as %ATTR_NAME%. You can use the
name of any feature attribute as ATTR_NAME or special attributes, like , , , etc. For example, to create a display label from the original feature
label, the layer name, and an attribute named FCODE, you could use the following: %% - Layer Name: %% - Feature Code: %FCODE%. If the feature
already had a label and the Keep Original Label if Non-Empty option is checked, the original label
will be used rather than the attribute value.
You can also select which attribute field (if any) to use for the "elevation" value for the layer. By default,
several attribute field names (like "ELEVATION", "ELEV", "ALTITUDE", "Z", etc.) are checked when an
elevation value for the feature is needed. This option allows you to override this behavior and manually select
the attribute to use. You can also select what units to assign to unspecified elevation values for the layer, such
as per-vertex elevation values for 3D line and area features in the layer. Finally, there are also options
available to select the classification to apply to unclassified area, line, and/or point features in the layer.
