Shapefile Database Record Dialog

See Also

 

The Shapefile Database Record dialog is available by selecting Show Shapefile Fields… from the local popup menu (obtained by right-clicking on a display object) of any display object that was created from a shapefile. This menu option will not be available for display objects that were not created from a shapefile. This dialog provides information read from the database file (.dbf) associated with the shapefile from which the display object was created. Each time that this dialog is displayed, the database file is read to fill in the field information. The field information is not stored in the PowerWorld display file (.pwd) so the associated database file must be available for this information to be displayed.
