on the side(s) with known address information. This provides a visual way to see where addressing
information is available.
The Hide Display Labels that are Partially Offscreen option allows you to hide any feature labels that don't
entirely fit on the screen. This can be useful when exporting vector data to a raster format and also gridding
the export into multiple pieces. This option should allow a seamless result in that case.
The Add MODIFIED_DATE to Modified Vector Features option controls whether or not a
MODIFIED_DATE attribute is automatically added to vector features when they are changed in some way.
The Iconize Road Names on Import (Some Formats) option controls whether or not the specified name for
road line types is checked on import to see if it should result in an iconized road name display (such as for
interstates and major highways). This is only done for formats which do not already have their own built-in
iconization (such as Tiger/Line and USGS DLG files). For example, this will work for formats like Shapefiles
and MapInfo MIF/MID files (among others).
The Fix Line Label Position on Longest Segment option controls whether or not the label displayed for line
features should move around to always be centered on the longest on-screen segment (the default unchecked
behavior) or should remain fixed on the center of the longest segment of the line, regardless of whether it is
on-screen or not. Checking this can prevent your line labels from jumping around as you zoom in and out, but
can result in a lot of unlabeled lines if you zoom in too far.
The Only Snap to Area and Line Vertices by Default option controls whether or not the snapping behavior of
the Digitizer Tool will snap to anywhere on existing area and line vertices (the default unchecked behavior) or
will only snap to vertices on area and line features. Holding down the 'V' key when drawing will toggle this
behavior.
The Only Display Area Labels when Completely Inside Area option allows you to easily disable the display of
any area label when that label is not completely contained within the area feature that it is labeling. This is
useful to keep area labels from displaying until you are zoomed in far enough on the area for a label to be
appropriate.
The Don't Add Measure Attributes to New Features option allows you to disable the automatic adding of
measure attributes, like LENGTH, PERIMETER, ENCLOSED_AREA, etc. to new area and line features
created with the Digitizer Tool.
The Make Duplicate Vertex Turn Off Area Border Segment allows you to use duplicate area vertices to turn
segments of the area border on and off. This is known as Pen Up/Pen Down display. How it works is that the
border pen is on (down) at the start of the border. Whenver a duplicate vertex is encountered, then pen it
turned off for the next segment. So if for example you had vertex 1, then a duplicate vertex 2 and 3, then
non-duplicate vertices 4 and 5, you would get a border drawn from vertex 1 to vertex 2, then it would turn off
for 3-4, then be drawn again for 4 onto the end.
The Disable Snapping to Features in the Digitizer Tool option allows you to disable automatic snapping to
nearby features when drawing in the Digitizer Tool. If you check this option then snapping will be disabled by
default and holding down the ALT key can be used to enable snapping (the default behavior is the reverse).
