Global Mapper User's Manual
The Name field allows you to modify the display name of the feature. If you are editing or creating a road
feature, you can set the name to a commonly supported iconized road name (like I-35 or US40) and when you
press OK you will be prompted whether or not to display an icon for the road name. This allows you to
generate a nice iconized display for most highway types. If you would like to split point and area labels up
onto multiple display lines, you can add the newline escape sequence (\n) to your display label. You will then
be prompted to split your label onto multiple lines when you save the changes.
If editing an area or line feature, the Vertices button will appear allowing you to edit the vertices of the
selected feature, including working with per-vertex elevations for 3D features.
The Feature Type selection allows you to choose which Global Mapper classification to assign to the feature.
You can also choose to create a new Global Mapper type with the Create New Type button.
The Feature Layer selection allows you to choose which layer that the feature should be assigned to. You can
choose an existing layer, the User Created and Modified Features layer, or you can create an entirely new
layer to add the feature to. A layer corresponds to a single entry in the Control Center.
The Feature Style section allows you to modify the drawing style of the selected feature. Selecting the Use
Default Style for Selected Feature Type option will cause the currently configured style for the Feature Type
from the Area, Line, or Point Styles tab of the Configuration dialog to be used when rendering the feature.
Alternatively, you can choose the Specify Style to Use When Rendering Feature option and select how you
want this feature drawn, independent of the selected Feature Type.
The Feature Attributes selection allows you to edit the attributes that are associated with this feature. The Add
File Link(s)... button in this section allows you to easily add attributes that point to files somewhere on disk
without having to manually type in the file name. These file links can later be followed from the Feature
