General Information

Column Descriptions

Culture properties are arranged in columns like the other properties dialogs. You can sort any column by clicking on the its heading. Most tools can be accessed by right clicking on any part of the table itself or going to the top menu. When you highlight any layer, editable properties show up in the toolbar above. To change the appearance of a layers double click on the layer to launch the Change Layer Properties dialog or the Link Culture Properties dialog.

Type: The type of the culture layer.  Assigning different types to layers can help you organize and move layers more easily within the map.
