This very powerful function enables you to duplicate or transfer marks from one plan to another. Therefore, you can, for
example, copy Decca tracks or marks onto a new plan, then apply a GPS position modification on another plan. You will
then have an original plan of Decca references and on a new plan the same marks but from GPS.
Drawing user's data layers
Drawing User's data layers overview
Drawing user's data layer are specific vector files (with an extension ".PTF") which stack there transparency on
displayed chart and on which user add marks and save his data.
The Layer zone in the Chart toolbar allows to quickly Show/Hide all opened layers and to display opened layer's list.
this symbol indicates that the selected layers are displayed on chart.
this symbol indicates that the all opened layers are hidden.
Refer to chapters Tracking, Adding your personal drawing Marks to learn how to save personal marks onto user's
data layers.
It is possible to create and display simultaneously as many layers as is required.
Each layer has a name and is associated to a computer file saved on the hard disk. If need be, you can save the layers
onto diskette or other removable media (see paragraph below Saving User's data layer file(s) ).
Each layer can be displayed on or removed from the chart as the user so wishes (this is of course done without losing
marks recorded on the layers).
Select the layer that you want to display directly under the list (a mark appears to sign the layer display).
When you exit the software, the list of open layers is recorded (This list can contain up to 50 opened files) and they
will be automatically re-opened when the software is next used.
When the software is first run, an empty user data layer is automatically created and named Layer.ptf. This file is
activated and displayed on chart by default.
If you wish to save data that you have plotted on chart, create a new file or save as and rename the current layer file (
layer.ptf by default)
You should save your tracks onto this layer or create a new file which can be named Track.ptf (see chapter Ship track)
and your marks onto an another one named Marks.ptf (see chapter Marks ).
