Changing an object to a graphic command

A graphic command is a button which allows an operator to send commands. You
can change an object to a graphic command.
Note: To have an object represented on a map as both a button and an icon, drag
the same data point twice onto the map, and change one of the icons to a graphic
command button.
To change an object to a graphic command, proceed as follows:
1. Select an object.
2. In the right-click menu, select Change to Graphic Command.
 The Graphic Object Property window displays
3. Click the Command Parameters tab.
4. In the Property drop-down list select the property that you want the button to be
associated with.

6. In the Text on button field type in the text that you want to appear on the
button.
- If this is to be a two-state button, check the Two-state button box and select
the alternate command in the Command drop-down list, then type in the
text that you want to appear on the button in the second state in the Text
on button field.

font, text size, etc.).

adjustment based on the button size; for lengthy commands, select the Wrap
