6.10.5 Other Tools
Level of expertise required for this Chapter: Beginner; specifically for LUPMIS @ TCPD
6.10.5.1 UPN Map
6.10.5.2 Check / Update Classes
This function lets you check, if the classification of planning zones is updated and follows the most recent standard (see land use classification of Structure Plans or of Local Plans).
Technical note 1: Subfolders called 'Non-LUPMIS', 'Old', 'Temp' or 'Work' are not considered.
6.10.5.3 Archive JPGs
Two index files 'Topo_minmax.txt' and 'Photo_minmax.txt' are required to have all information of images, to allow correct selection and placing of raster files (including orthophotomaps, satellite images, scanned topographical maps, but only JPG files).
These can be automatically created through this tool. If no raster files are added to the system, there is no need to run this function.
Technical note 2: Subfolders which are called 'Additional', 'Non-LUPMIS', 'Old', 'Temp' or 'Work' are not considered. Thus, if you have any orthophotomaps, which you don't want to be called by the Printing Tools (for example, outdated ones), move them to folder 'Non-LUPMIS' or 'Old'.
Technical note 3: This text file can also be produced or edited manually. Each line consists of one JPG definition. Syntax for each JPG file is:
tt,xxxxxx,yyyyyyy,XXXXXX,YYYYYYY,file
where:
- tt = type (TT for topo, PV for photo very low resolution, PL for photo low resolution, PM for photo medium resolution, PH for photo high resolution)
- xxxxxx = minimum x (UTM, 6 digits)
- yyyyyyy = minimum y (UTM, 7 digits)
- XXXXXX = maximum x (UTM, 6 digits)
- YYYYYYY = maximum y (UTM, 7 digits)
- file includes path and extension
For example: TT,665455,0746456,693879,0774738,C:/LUPMIS/Ejisu/Ejisu topo/EjisuNE_topo50.jpg
JPG Files, which are not listed in this ....minmax.txt file, are not considered at the Printing Tools. They should not overlap each other.
