Creating New Shape (e.g. Circle, Rectangle, etc.) Features
Under the Create Area Shapes and Create Line Shapes right-click popup menus you will find options to
create Arc, Circular, Elliptical, Rectangular, and Square area and line features. For all of these shape types
(except the rectangular/square option where you manually enter the coordinates), you click and hold the left
mouse button at the center of the feature, then drag it until it is of the desired shape. For Circular/Elliptical
features and Arcs, the default shape follows a circle and holding down the SHIFT key will dragging will result
in an ellipse. For Rectangular/Square features, the default shape is a rectangle and holding down the SHIFT
key will force the dragged shape to be square. If you hold down the 'T' key when left clicking to start the
shape, the start point will be treated as the top left corner of the feature rather than the center of the shape
feature.
Once the shape is to your liking, release the left mouse button and the Modify Feature Info dialog will appear
allowing you to setup the label, classification, drawing style, and attribution for the new feature. See Editing
Feature Attributes and Drawing Styles for more details.
Once you have completed have completed creating the shape, the Digitizer Tool will remain in the selected
shape creation mode, so you can simply start drawing a new shape, or right-click to choose a different mode.
