Properties and options of link types

Unique number of the link type

Link types are automatically numbered consecutively when they are inserted.

Allocation of the link type to a global type

Note

When you insert a link type, the global type is allocated automatically. You can change the allocations in the list (Grouping the view by global type).

Name of the link type

If this check box is selected, changes made to the attributes of the link type are applied to all allocated links of this link type.

Notes

With this option you can specify for each link type whether changes shall be adopted automatically to the allocated links.

You can edit the attributes of the links at any time, the Strict option does not inhibit that.

When opening network or attribute files, the values of the link attributes are always read, even if the link types are strict.

Changes made to attributes of the link type are transferred to the related links:

• if a different link type is allocated to the links and the new link type has the property Strict.
• if the Strict option is activated for an existing link type.

If this check box is not selected, the edited attributes are only applied to newly inserted links of this link type. Links already allocated to this link type will not be changed.
