Dataset Options

Default Feature Mask Mode

This option sets the Default Feature Mask Mode, i.e. the mode that any new dataset is initialized with.

The Feature Mask Mode determines how features are handled when loaded from the source data.

When the Feature Mask Mode is Unchecked, initially all features, in the source data, are included in the Layer, i.e. appear in the Feature Masking tree as checked and are displayed with the rendering setup in the associated Feature Book Section (default rendering if new features).

With the Feature Mask Mode is Checked, all features, in the source data, are initially excluded from the Layer, i.e. appear in the Feature Masking tree as unchecked and are not displayed. The features will be added to the Feature Book Section as normal.

The Feature Mask Mode is set on the Dataset Feature Masking page.
