What is a Feature Table?

A feature table details code-numbers that have standardised features (properties, styles, scale thresholds, and so on) associated with them. These tables can be applied to data that also contains these code-numbers. When selected, an item will show in its properties which feature table is being used, and which code from the table it has. In the UK, Ordnance Survey data is an example of the use of feature tables and codes. All features with the same feature code use the same Pen, Brush, Symbol, etc.

The data types that use feature tables and codes are: OS Boundary-Line, OS Boundary-Line 2000, OS Land-Form, OS Land-Line, OS Meridian, OSCAR, OS Strategi, OS MasterMap, OSI, OSNI (Large Scale and Miscellaneous), S-57, SDTS, TIGER/Line, and USGS DLG (Large and Small Scale).
