Mapping fields
Field
Description
General area
Mapping name
Enter a name for the mapping.
Map on field
Specify a field to map. For example, Department or Space standard.
* 
In Connect for AutoCAD you can specify the maximum level of detail for Department and Space standard (LVL1, LVL2, LVL3). This means that all Departments (or Space standards) on a lower level than selected, will be grouped together to this maximum level of detail.
Include entities without value
Select the check box to include entities that do not have a value for the selected field.
For example, this option highlights the spaces which are not linked to a department.
* 
If you select this check box, the Color for entities without value option becomes available in the Coloring area. Specify a color to highlight the entities without a value. This option is disabled for Available workspaces (drawing) and Available workspaces (Planon) fields.
Legend area
Show legend
Select this check box to show a legend in the mapping.
Legend title
Enter a header name for the Legend to display as title in the drawing.
Coloring area
Coloring type
From the drop down list, specify a coloring type.
* 
If you select Fixed Color type, the Color field becomes available. All the elements will get the same (selected) color. The Planon color type is visible only when the field selected in the Map on field section has a Planon color associated with it. If you select AutoCAD Color Index, random colors are applied based on the AutoCAD schema.
If you set the coloring type to Planon color for fields such as Department and Cost center that have a color linked in Planon ProCenter, the entities associated with these fields (Department and Cost center) will display the defined colors in Planon ProCenter after performing mapping on these fields. This option is disabled for Available workspaces (drawing) and Available workspaces (Planon) fields since they have fixed coloring patterns. For more information, refer to Mapping.
Color
Specify a color to highlight the entities (if you have selected Coloring type as Fixed color).
Color for entities without value
Specify a color to highlight the entities without a value.
Hatch area
Show hatch
Select the check box to show hatching in the mapping.
Hatching type
Select one of the following options to indicate the hatching type:
• Planon hatch pattern - The hatch pattern is automatically picked from the color and hatching fields in Spaces. For more information, see Spaces > Space mapping per department or department level.
• AutoCAD hatch pattern - If you select this option, the hatch pattern is taken from the fields Pattern, Scale and Angle.
Pattern
In the Hatch pattern palette dialog box, select a pattern to hatch.
Scale
Specify a scale for the hatch pattern.
Angle
Specify an angle for the hatch pattern.
Scale correction method
Select one of the following options to indicate the correction method for the scale:
• Manual correction factor - By selecting this option, you must enter the correction factor manually in the field Correction factor.
• Planon correction factor - The correction factor is automatically picked from the field Floor hatch scale in Floor attributes. For more information, see Spaces > Floor attributes fields.
Correction factor
Enter a number for the hatch pattern correction factor. The minimum value is 0 and there is no maximum value. Based on this number, the hatch pattern is displayed on the CAD drawing. The larger the number the greater the distance between the hatch lines. This field is enabled only if Manual correction factor is selected in the Scale correction method field.
* 
For Person and Asset mappings the hatch area is disabled, because Blocks cannot be hatched.
