Defining the ancillary information table settings

Before an ancillary information table has been added to the map layout, the appearance of the table can be determined to ensure it meets a product specification or organizational standard. Several aspects of the table can be customized, which include all the cell symbols and fonts that create the table. This includes the table cell lines, all the text symbols, and the order of navaid components shown.

The properties are described as follows:

• Cell Outline Symbol—Properties related to the line symbols of the table
• Information Text—Properties related to the text within the table cells
• Servicing City Text—Properties related to the city text, located above the table cells
• Runway Text—Properties related to the runway identifier text
• Airport Text—Properties related to the airport identifier text
• NavaidComponent Order—Properties related to the navaid component are displayed in the primary navaid box (first cell of the table) and will determine how additional text is shown, such as channel value

When you modify the line symbol or a text element on the table, there is a separate dialog box that appears so you can customize the color, size, and other aspects of the symbol's style. There are preview windows in these dialog boxes so you can preview each change.
