Configuring Cadcorp SIS Desktop to work with FindIT

FindIT uses a separate SWD for searching. This allows a large number of data layers to be included in the search.

Make the following changes to the SWD or layer using Cadcorp SIS Desktop.

Remember to open Cadcorp SIS Desktop in Administrator mode.
Open the SWD you want to use for FindIT.
For performance reasons we recommend using database overlays in the SWD.
Each layer in the SWD can be included in the intersect query run by FindIT. To do this, simply add the WML::ConstraintSearchEnabled& property and set it to 1. (Right click on the overlay and select Properties > Add (or) use the Overlays dialogue).
To include a MasterMap layer (which the user can select to form query polygons) add it to the SWD. Ensure the WML::Mastermap@ property in your MasterMap layer is set to True.
Modify the schema to define the information returned for each overlay.
Schema columns with a check mark are included in the PDF output. To rename a schema column to a friendlier description, simply click on it.
A single snapping layer can be defined. Edits can be snapped to an underlying data layer. These are defined by adding the WML::AllowSnapping& property to the layer in the SWD and ensuring that the value is set to 1:
Snapping requires features to be pushed to the client from GeognoSIS. Remember the following:
- A spatial database or BDS file should be used.
- When snapping to OS MasterMap data, a lightweight snapping layer should be created by copying line work from the OS MasterMap table to a separate table. Do not use a filtered or phased overlay.
- Only one overlay should be defined as the snapping overlay.
