Codes Database

          This command displays a window allowing one to view and interactively edit the Codes Database’s contents.
The list’s parameters are as follows:
Code: Text which should coincide with a point’s code. Wildcard characters such as “?” (coincides with any character) and “*” (coincides with any group of characters) can be entered.  These increase the versatility of drawing from codes, avoiding the need to define more codes than is necessary.

Color:  Sets the color used to draw polylines.
Element: Depending on the Type field, can be the name of the block to be inserted if it is Point, the type of line if it is a Line, or the hatch pattern if it is an Area.
