Attribute Browser Tools

The Attribute Browser has the following buttons/tools. The tools change depending on the type of Element.

Each one of these buttons is briefly described below:

Button Name Description
Select Element / Select Elements / Select Domain
  • Use the Select Element command to select an element in order to highlight graphically or to view, update or modify its attribute data. To use this feature click on the icon and you will see a yellow colored, small rectangular cursor. Hold the mouse down and drag the cursor on the element you wish to be selected.
  • Use the Select Elements command to select multiple elements at a time in order to view, update or modify their attributes using the Atrribute Browser by browsing through each of the elements in selection one by one. To use this feature click on the icon available next to the icon and choose Select Elements, then you will see a red colored small rectangular cursor. Hold the mouse down and drag the cursor on the elements you wish to be selected. Once the selected elements are highlighted, you may accept or reject the selection by right clicking on the mouse and choosing Enter or Cancel, respectively. You may also press Enter or Escape on your key board to accept or reject the selection. If the selection is accepted, the user may wish to review or edit attributes of the elements in selection by browsing through these data elements using the and buttons described below. Please note that, once the user clicks on any selection tool, including the Select Elements feature, that initiates the red colored small rectangular cursor, he/she will not be able to do any other activity on the model unless the user accepts or rejects the selection by right clicking on the mouse and choosing Enter or Cancel.
  • Use the Select Domain command to select elements in an already created Domain in order to view, update or modify their attributes by browsing through each of the elements in the Domain one by one. To use this feature, the user must have an already created Domain in the project. If so, the user may click on the icon available next to the icon and choose Select Domain. Now all the elements in the Domain are in selection, and the user may wish to review or edit their attributes one by one by browsing through these data elements using the and buttons described below.
Find by ID This button enables the user to search a network element by its ID or Description and zooms in to the element. This feature is same as the Locate Element functionality available from the Utility Menu.
Zoom to an Active Node Zooms the drawing area map in to the node or the link currently active.
Open Default Using this feature, the user may review the default attribute data used when new data elements (e.g., Rain Gage, Junction, etc) are created. Click on the button, and select the data element type for which you need to review the default settings on the resulting dialog editor, then click OK. The Atrribute Browser displays default settings for the data element , and allows you to modify the settings.
Save as Default This tool enables the modeler to save attributes of a data element (e.g. Subcatchments) as a default so that the same attribute data is used when new data element, in this case Subcatchment, is created.
Save Current Record By clicking on this button, the user saves the latest changes made on the Atrribute Browser.
Reset Reverts any changes made on the Atrribute Browser to its previous state at the time of the last save operation. Once a save operation is performed, any changes made to the current record become permanent.
Delete Deletes the active data element.
Recall Recalls the last deleted data element.
Report Opens the report manager and displays output report for the selected element for a maximum report duration of one day. Click on an element for which you wish to see output report, and click on this tool.
Graph Opens the report manager and displays output graph for the selected element for a maximum report duration of one day. Click on an element for which you wish to create an output graph, and click on this tool.
Tools Using this command, the user can access certain dialog editors provided by InfoSWMM to provide attribute data related to the currently active data element (e.g., Junction, Conduit, Subcatchment, etc) that may or may not be provided through other tool buttons in the Atrribute Browser. Click on the Down Arrow icon to launch the Tools menu.

ID Counter Use this feature to set the automatic ID assignment option by selecting the Prefix, Id counter, and the increment steps as you wish.

  3. Specify the right coordinate system in the Project Preferences.
