Creating New Features
♦ Converting Areas with Islands to Single Vertex List
At any time that the Digitizer Tool is active, you have the option to create new area, line, and point features
simple by right clicking and selecting either the Create New Area Feature, Create New Line Feature (Vertex
or Trace Mode), or Create New Point Feature options on the popup menu (pictured below). Any new features
created can be exported to new vector files in any of the supported vector export format (DXF, Shapefile,
etc.).
Creating New Area Features
Global Mapper User's Manual
After selecting the Create New Area Feature popup menu option, you can proceed to draw a new area feature
with the mouse. To draw the feature, simple left click at each place that you'd like to drop a vertex. To finish
the area feature, right click at the desired location of the last vertex to complete the area. You can cancel
creation of the new area at any time by pressing the Escape key. Note that while drawing the area you can use
the Snapping feature to help align the area with existing features.
Once you've completed drawing the area, the Modify Feature Info dialog will appear allowing you to setup the
label, classification, drawing style, and attribution for the area. The perimeter and enclosed area of the area
feature will be added as default attributes. The units for these measurements can be modified on the General
tab of the Configuration dialog. See Editing Feature Attributes and Drawing Styles for more details.
