Start or Continue a Pattern Search
This button can be pressed to start a pattern search. When Reviewing a Pattern Search on the drawing, you can press this button to return to the Pattern Search Review Window.
Add Pattern Search Rectangle Annotation
This button can be pressed to create a pattern search rectangle annotation. These annotations define a specific area to be searched during a pattern search. When you press the button, a description edit window will be displayed to enter the name of the search area. The description will appear in the Search Area drop-down list in the Pattern Search Edit Window. After entering the description, click on two opposing corners of the desired rectangle, just as you would with a rectangle annotation.
Add Pattern Search Polygon Annotation
This button can be pressed to create a pattern search polygon annotation. These annotations define a specific area to be searched during a pattern search. When you press the button, a description edit window will be displayed to enter the name of the search area. The description will appear in the Search Area drop-down list in the Pattern Search Edit Window. After entering the description, click on the points defining the outline of the polygon, just as you would with a line annotation.
Show/Hide Pattern Search Annotations
When this button is checked, rectangle and polygon pattern search rectangles will be visible. When it isn’t checked they will be hidden.
