Note: In the New Application Plan window, you need to define the type of plan
you are creating. Refer to “Create a new application plan:” on page 210 for
instructions. It is important to note that it is on this screen that you decide if you
want to copy all the shapes from a soil type map or not. By doing so, you are
pre-populating your new application plan with the same shapes - and their
exact positions - from a selected soil type map. In addition, each shape will
have a rate assigned to it that has already been predetermined from the Soil
Type to Rate Table. Refer to page 203 for instructions on using this table. You
do not need to copy shapes from a soil type map if do not want to (it is simply
a shortcut). You have the option to create each shape on your application plan
manually, or you can also create some of them manually and copy some
others.

FAQ’s
You are now ready to design your application plan. With the Layers chooser visible, select
View for the field boundary and application plan layer; in addition, select Edit for the
application plan layer. The application plan tool bar is now active (this tool bar is only used
for application plans).
If you are manually creating shapes for the plan, you will use the Rectangle, Ellipse,
Center Pivot and Polygon tools. If you are copying shapes from a soil type map, you will
use the Copy Shape and End Copy Shape tools. The Bisect and Delete Shape tools
can be used for either method, and the Layer tools are used to position any shape on an
application plan map. For an overview of all the tools on this bar, refer to page 211.
Some notes to keep in mind while creating a plan:
• Because the field boundary is used as an outline for your application plans,
polygons that extend past the field boundary are automatically severed at that line.
If the entire polygon is moved outside the boundary, it will be deleted.
• Polygons are placed inside the field boundary approximating the size and shape of
different rates. These polygons can be drawn using the drawing tools, or they can
be actual shapes copied from a soil type map.
• If you have areas of the field (waterways) where you will not apply product or plant
seeds, a rate of zero can be assigned.
• When you draw (or copy) a polygon on the plan, JDOffice will place it in front of all
the other polygons on the field map. Each placed polygon represents another layer
within the application plan. Use the Select tool to position the polygon. You can
control the layer order (overlap) by moving polygons in front of, or behind others
with the Layer tools. What you see on the screen is what the plan will be - any part
of a polygon hidden by another one does not exist to JDOffice.
• A master legend is automatically created, and all application plans will use this
legend. Each time a new rate is added to a plan, JDOffice will assign a unique
legend color to it; the master legend will expand to include the new rate. These
legends cannot be deleted, and you cannot add additional ones without adding a
