Default setting for automatic combining of existing weather/discrete
and new weather/discrete
when editing. For example, if the setting is yes and existing weather
is
Rain, then setting the value to Snow will result in a Rain/Snow mix.
For
discrete, if you setting is yes and the existing discrete value is
HiWndWRN, then setting the value to WntStmWRN will result in
values of HiWndWRN with WntStmWRN.
<p><b><tt>WeatherDiscreteCombineMode = no</tt></b> <br>
</p>

<h4><a name="DefaultContourtoGridAlgorithm"></a><font size="+1">Default

</p>
<p>&nbsp;
</p>
<h4><a name="SelectGridsWhenStepping"></a><font size="+1">Select Grids
When Stepping</font></h4>
Specifies whether the selection time range will track the spatial
editor
time when time stepping.&nbsp; Time stepping is accomplished using the

shortcuts</a>.&nbsp;
When this preference is enabled (i.e., yes), the selection time range
will
be set to:
<blockquote><li>the one hour period surrounding the spatial editor
time, if there is no
active weather element, or</li>
<li>the time constraint box for the active weather element, if there
is no
grid that intersects the spatial editor time, or</li>
<li>the valid time of the grid for the active weather element that
intersects
the spatial editor time.</li>
</blockquote>
In addition, all weather elements except the active weather element
will
be deselected.
<p>When this preference is disabled (i.e., no), the selection time
range,
and the set of selected weather elements will not change when using the
<a href="Toolbar.html#StepBack">GFE
