Improving the properties of the control measure symbols (area - general)
The property set "CM Area (General)" should be used for all area symbols that have not been assigned a specific property set.
The property set for general area symbols affects the following control measure areas of 2525d:
- Command and Control
- Maneuver
- Defensive
- Direction of Attack
- Airspace
- Maritime
- Target
- Obstacle
- Supply Point
Proposal for the content and structure of the property window (named "CM - Area (General)") for control measure point symbols:
Remarks:
The green marked amplifiers correspond to the specifications according to 2525d.
The amplifier "Hostile (Enemy)" is not necessary in my opinion, because "Hostile" can be defined by the standard identity.
In my opinion, the amplifiers "Type", "Distance", "Azimuth" and "Target Designator" would not need to be included in the properties section.
The symbol icon (field "A") is already defined when the basic symbol is selected.
The Icon "Change Symbol Type" is used to change the "basic symbol" within the control measure area (general) symbols without the user having to create a new symbol and thus discard the previous entries.
The property set for general area symbols should be also affects to the following areas (not control measures) of 2525d:
- Atmospheric Symbols (Area)
- Oceanographic Symbols (Area)
