Active codes

Active codes selects the active code or codes when working with multiple codes per geometry.

A new geometry receives every listed code when stored, not just the selected code. Only one row can be selected at a time.

The Multi-coding panel option under Interface for selecting codes controls the menu option that shows the pane and Add code, Remove code, Select code, Copy entity code and Add entity code as described below: without this option, the menu and all these buttons except Remove code are disabled. The list and Remove code always work.

When adding codes:

• Existing codes are not added again unless configuration allows duplicate codes on geometries.
• Codes disabled in the code table are not added.
• Table, ID and database attributes of all active codes are cleared.
