Requesting Information About Vector Chart Objects

The ability to cursor-pick an object to find additional information about the object is an important function of the
chart radar. However, an unprocessed cursor pick, which does not discriminate or interpret and merely dumps on the
interface panel all the information available at that point on the display, will normally result in pages of unsorted and
barely intelligible attribute information.
7.13.1

Setting visible vector chart features

The request information about S57 chart objects is given only to objects which are chosen for display by the user.
For how choose chart details to display, see section 7.9.3 Controlling visible chart features (chart display).

Choosing desired object from the list of found objects

To specify desired SENC and object for information request, do the following:
1. Place the cursor on object desired.
2. Push the scrollwheel. Two windows appear: Objects by Cell and Object.
3. Use the Objects by Cell window to choose desired chart cell and desired object from which you need
information. If there are different navigation purpose S57 charts over the area where you are making an

displayed in the Cell list box. Choose desired S57 chart cell from the list.
