Options

Type a new name in this box to rename the selected view filter.

Check/uncheck this box to include/exclude object types, layers, and surfaces that are added to the project after the view filter was defined.

Check/uncheck this box to make the selected view filter uneditable/editable.

Group options (Flag, Raw Data, Photogrammetry, Layers, CAD)

Also see Context menu options below.

Check this to deselect Visible for all of the data in a view filter category, thereby making it invisible in graphic views.

These icons indicate whether the category is shown or hidden in the View Filter Manager (not this dialog). To show or hide a category, select the name of the category, right-click, and select Show/Hide Category from the context menu.

Select options in these lists to customize the look of lines per view filter. This allows you to set different colors, line styles, and line weights in different view filters for flexibility when plotting. For example, you may want a set of lines (such as contours) to be bold, colored, and solid on one sheet, but fine, black, and dashed on the next sheet. Apply these different view filters when you Create a Sheet Set or Create a Dynaview to be placed on a sheet.

Note: If line properties are set to ByLayer, these settings override the line color, weight, and style of the lines. Otherwise, changing the line color, weight, and style manually (via the Properties pane) will take precedence over these settings in the View Filter Manager.

Check/uncheck the boxes in each category to control what is visible and selectable in graphic views.
In addition to the standard data types and layers available in the View Filter Manager, there are groups for features and CAD data.

Point tab options

Check/uncheck this box to show/hide the point ID labels for points.

Check/uncheck this box to show/hide feature codes for any points that have them.

Check/uncheck this box to show/hide points that are not connected to baselines or vectors.

Check/uncheck this box to show/hide the display styles tabs at the bottom of the View Filter Manager as well.

Observations tab options

All observations - Select this to show all observations, regardless of their status.

Enabled observations only - Select this to show only observations that participate in project computations.

Disabled observations only - Select this to show only observations that are ignored in project computations.

Check/uncheck this to show/hide sideshot observations.

GNSS Data Types tab options

By enable status - Select an option for whether to show baselines depending on whether they participate in project computations or not.

By process status - Select an option for whether to show baselines depending on whether they have been processed into vectors or not.

Select an option for whether to show trajectories depending on whether they participate in project computations or not.

Display tab options

Select a display option for data with either a null or zero elevation.

For the Display in alternate color and Display non-zero in alternate color options (set above this option), specify the display color.

Context menu options

Within a group, select this to check/uncheck all of the boxes, displaying or hiding all of those object types or layers in the graphic view.

Click in a group, and select this to uncheck the currently checked Visible boxes, and check the currently unchecked Visible boxes in the group.

Within a group, select this to check the selected object type or layer, and uncheck everything else in the group.

Note: If no data is visible after you select View Only This, make sure that the box for the layer the data is on is also checked.

On a group, select this to move the group up or down in the tree so that your most frequently used groups are at the top.
The order is saved with your project, and is the same for all view filters.

This option can only be launched from within the View Filter Manager pane, not this dialog.

Select this to make the selected category appear in the View Filter Manager. The visibility of each category in the manager is indicated by these icons in this dialog:

(visible)

(hidden)
