Hi to all!

I try to use the advanced symbology in order to draw nato symbols
I need little help about it,

1. What the parameters _WKID mean like in this command : lmessage.setProperty("_WKID", "3857");
2. What the parameter UniqueDesignation mean?
3. THE MOST IMPORTENT QUESTION: How can send parameters to symboles llike the symbole "Target" (TACGRP.FSUPP.PNT.TGT.PTGT) (2.X.4.1.1.1) with sic G*FPPTS---****X
parameters like "Target Alt" , "Description" and "Name"?

Thanks to all!

You can use messages provided by an external device/file or populate your own message with the messageID and the name-value pairs required by the message processor symbol dictionary type. You can explicitly set the message properties with the Message.setProperty() method.

By default the message spatial reference is expected to be the same a the message processor. If it is not then explicitly state the message's spatial reference using the message's _WKID value.

Unique designation is a text modifier that adds a label to show data in the unique designation for the feature.  A good introduction to text modifiers can be found here

You then process a message using MessageProcessor class.

This is an obstacle that the standard states should be green. The following is taken from MIL-STD-2525C, page 37:

5.5.1.1 Standard identity. Standard identity refers to the threat posed by the operational
environment object being represented. A tactical graphic may be black or off-white depending
on display background, or standard identity may be indicated using color and/or text. If color is
used, graphics denoting friend shall be shown in either black or blue. For other standard
identities, colors should be assigned in a manner consistent with the standard identity of the
associated tactical symbol. By default, a graphic denoting hostile standard identity shall be
shown in red. If red is not available the graphic shall be drawn in black with the abbreviation
â??ENYâ?� placed on the graphic in at least two places. In addition, if color is available graphics
indicating obstacles shall be drawn in green; otherwise, all obstacles shall be shown in black.
