Default Symbology

When adding a new map layer to your project a default symbol will be automatically generated. AccuGlobe will select a random color scheme and pick a pen and fill style appropriate to the geometry type of the data to be used for display purposes.

Steps For Changing The Default Symbology

  1. Right-click on the layer in the legend. A new menu will popup.
  2. Click on Layer Properties. The Layer Properties dialog will be displayed.
  3. Click on the Main Symbol tab.
  4. Changes made under the Main Symbol section will become the new default symbology.
Note:
Selected symbology is used to render a feature that has been selected. By making this symbol different from the main default symbol it is easy to see which features on the map are selected.

A screenshot of an example default symbology is shown below:
