Information dialog displayed with the Feature Info tool.<br />

When more than one area, line, and/or point feature is selected, there is an option on the right-click popup<br />

menu allowing you to edit the selected features. Selecting that option displays a dialog dialog which allows<br />

you to modify the Name, Feature Type, Feature Layer, and Drawing Style, and Attributes for the selected<br />

features.<br />

Deleting/Undeleting Features<br />

Removing an unwanted feature is quite simple. All that you need to do is select the feature(s) that you wish to<br />

delete, then either select the Delete option from the right-click popup menu or press the DELETE key. Once<br />

you've done that, the feature is marked for deleted and will no longer appear on the display unless the Render<br />

Deleted Features option is enabled on the Vector Options tab of the Configuration dialog.<br />

If you decide that you didn't want to delete a feature, simple enable the Render Deleted Features option (see<br />

above) to show the deleted features, then select the deleted features and select the Undelete Feature(s) option<br />

from the right-click popup menu.<br />

Moving Features<br />

You can move area, line, and point features simply by selecting the feature(s) that you wish to move, then<br />

selecting the Move XXX Feature(s) option from the right-click popup menu, or you can simply hold down the<br />

ALT key when selecting the feature(s) to move to automatically enter move mode for the selected<br />

feature(s)/vertices. Once you've done that, simply hold down the left mouse button and drag the features to the<br />

desired new location.<br />

If you'd only like to move the selected feature(s) either horizontally or vertically, you can hold down either the<br />

'X' or 'Y' keys on the keyboard to restrict the movement to that axis. Holding down both keys will move the<br />

feature(s) diagonally.<br />

If after moving a feature you decide that you want to undo the move, simply select the feature(s) that you<br />

want moved back and select the Restore Original Shape from the right-click popup menu.<br />

If you need to shift/offset selected features a particular distance, you can also simply right click when the<br />

feature(s) to move are selected and select the Shift/Offset Selected Feature(s) option. This will bring up a<br />

dialog allowing you to specify a distance to shift the selected features by in both the X and Y direction or<br />

some distance along a specified bearing. The bounding coordinates of the feature in the current<br />

projection/coordinate system will be displayed at the bottom of the dialog that appears to help you calculate<br />

an appropriate shift/offset distance.<br />

Changing the Shape of Area and Line Features<br />

<strong>Global</strong> <strong>Map</strong>per User's Manual<br />

You can change the shape of area and line features in several different ways. You'll first have to enable the<br />

Show Area and Line Vertices option (Shift+V is a keyboard shortcut to toggle this setting) before having<br />

access to the features described below. You'll also need to select the vertices to work with before performing<br />

any of the described operations except inserting new vertices.<br />

The following options are available for reshaping area and line features:<br />
