Menu | Select > Collections |
This command lets you select and view existing collection objects.
A collection is a special S-57 object that contains information about relationships between objects. Collection objects can contain other collection objects. These objects do not have any spatial representation and, unlike other objects, they cannot be filtered or selected using standard tools in a Teledyne CARIS application.
