Color pins change their active color per the traffic lighting definition. You create Color pins by indicating the pin image to use for corresponding traffic lighting conditions, and indicating the Active Color.
Pins on the Pinboard panel may not accurately reflect all pin images and traffic lighting conditions until the Pinboard is finished and displayed as a document.
Pins on the Pinboard Panel may not accurately reflect all pin images and traffic lighting ranges until the Pinboard is finished and displayed as a document.
To create a color pin:
Navigate to a GIF or JPEG file to use as the pin image. Select the file name, and click OK.
The selected image is displayed in the Pin Designer panel.
Before a pin can be added to the selection list, the "point of the pin" and its active color must be defined. This is accomplished using the Pin Designer shortcut menu:
Optional: To set the point of the pin, right-click the pin image where you think the point should be, and select Hotspot.
The grid to the left demonstrates how the pin is positioned relative to this point.
To set the Active Color, right-click a prominent color in the pin image, and select Active Color.
The Active Color panel reflects this selection. By electing an Active color, you indicate that this color is replaced by the traffic lighting range color.
Select the pin from the list, and click OK.
The pin is displayed next to the traffic light range it represents.
Select a matching pin image, and click OK.
The pin is displayed next to another traffic light range. The Active Color of this pin is replaced by the color of the range.
Repeat steps 10 and 11 for all traffic lighting ranges, and click OK.
