Geodatabase Rules1:25 000 All features meeting the criteria set out in the general rules will be assigned a Upper Scale of 100 000 as a minumum. 1:100 000 All features meeting the criteria set out in the general rules will be assigned a Upper Scale of 100 000 as a minumum. 1:250 000 No more than fifty points will be included on a standard map area. Where the land area of the map differs from the standard size, the maximum number will be in proportion.If the number of monumented stations in the working database exceeds fifty all lowest order stations will be dropped. This process will be repeated until the number is less than the maximum. This process will take precedence over the overlap rules in Section3 chapter 5.3 General - All Scales Horizontal control points will be selected from the Horizontal control points data file. Only permanently marked and monumented horizontal control points (ie those with a beacon, cairn or pole) that have elevations will be shown. Only points with a horizontal accuracy of zero, first, second and third order will be shown. Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - Internal to Associated DatasetInter-Feature Relationship Rules - External to Associated DatasetGeneral - All Scales Horizontal control points cannot overlap; Map RulesGeneral - All Scales Where a horizontal control point and another cultural feature such as a Landmark Point feature are adjacent or coincident, precedence will be given to the other cultural feature (see Section 3 chapter 6.6).
