Maintain diagram layers

You can maintain diagram layers from the Define Diagrams screen at the top right of the toolbar, or from the Plan Generation landing page. Any changes you make to diagram layers will be automatically updated in Layout Plan Sheets once you have saved your selections. 
 

You can maintain diagram layers for all diagrams of a specific type (for example all user-defined primary diagrams), or for an individual user-defined diagram (for example diagram AA).  

Maintain diagram layers by Diagram type

Left-click the drop-down menu under Diagram type to select and maintain layers for:

• System Generated Primary Diagram
• System Generated Survey Diagram
• System Generated Non Primary Diagram
• User Defined Primary Diagram
• User Defined Survey Diagram
• User Defined Non Primary Diagram.
   

Maintain diagram layers by Individual user-defined diagram

Left-click the drop-down menu under Individual user defined diagram to select and maintain layers for an individual diagram, for example Diagram A – User Defined Primary Diagram.  
 

If you have not defined any diagrams, the panel will display No individual user defined diagrams found.
 

Once you have defined 1 or more diagrams in Define Diagrams, the diagrams will appear here.

Layer types are related to the diagram you’re working with  

Each type of diagram has its own set of:

• mandatory layers that must be shown (you can’t turn these layers off)
• optional layers that you can turn on or off as needed (set to off by default).

The available layers change as you select each different type of diagram.

For example, the System Generated Primary Diagram layers are:

Mandatory – these will always show:  

• Primary Boundary Marks
• Primary Parcel Dimensions
• Primary Parcels.

Optional - Select the layers you want showing from:

• Non Primary Boundary Marks  
• Non Primary Parcel Dimensions
• Non Primary Parcels
• Centreline Parcels
• Existing Parcels
• User Added RT and Abuttals.

To turn a layer on, left click on the Show/Hide icon next to the layer name.  
 

The icon will change from Hidden to Shown. To turn the layer back off, left click again on the icon. 
 

Any layers you turn on will be included in your diagrams in Layout Plan Sheets.

Labels for diagram layers

The layer labels will appear on the layout plan sheets as text and symbols.  

Labels for each layer default to being displayed as you turn the layer on, but you can choose to hide them here. 
 

To turn the labels off for a layer that is showing, left-click on the tick box to the right of the layer.  
 

The box will change to unticked, and the labels for this layer will not show on the selected diagram on the layout plan sheets. To turn them back on, left-click again on the empty label tick box for the required layer. 
 

The Existing Parcels layer has Boundary Lines ON as default when the layer is turned on. Left-click the Boundary Lines ON box to untick this option if you want to show labels (appellations) for any existing parcels but hide the boundaries. 
 

The box will change to Boundary Lines OFF. You can left-click again to turn the existing parcel boundary lines back on.
 

Save and close maintain diagram layers

Once you have added your layers and labels for a diagram type or individual diagram, select Save to save your selections.
 

For Maintain diagram layers by Diagram type, when you select Save, a message will appear advising that any changes made will overwrite the Individual user defined diagrams if you continue. Select Continue to save your changes.

Example: You had maintained individual Diagram AA - user defined Primary diagram, then maintain User Defined Primary Diagrams. This will overwrite the saved settings in diagram AA.
 

If you have made changes to any diagram layers and try to shift away to a different diagram type or individual user defined diagram before saving, a pop-up box will appear warning you about unsaved changes. Select Save to save or Discard to continue without saving.
 

Once you have saved all your changes to diagram layers and labels, the Maintain Diagram Layers panel will display All layers up to date.  

You can safely left click on Close to close the panel and continue with Layout Plan Sheets or Define Diagrams.
