9.4 How to Find Information About S57 Chart
Objects
The ability to cursor-pick an object to find additional information about the object is an
important function of the system. However, an unprocessed cursor pick, which does
not discriminate or interpret and merely dumps on the interface panel all the informa-
tion available at that point on the display, will normally result in pages of unsorted and
barely intelligible attribute information.
Do the following to find information about a chart object.
1. Get into the Voyage navigation mode or Voyage planning mode then rIght-click an
object to show the context-sensitive menu.
2. Click [Object INFO] to show the [Select Object] dialog box.
3. Click the object for which you want to know its details then click the [OK] button.
Note: If another window is active, the preview window may be partially obscured
by that window. Move the window to display the entire preview.
4. To print the chart object information, click the [Print Text] button. Below is a sam-
ple chart object printout.
