All the edition tools are regrouped in the menu Edition, which contains the following elements:
To edit objects with the different tools in ToolMap you will have to enter the edition mode.
This operation activate the edition menu
The draw tool allows creating new features
The modify option allows modifying features.
The draw Bezier tool allows building Bezier curves. For each section of Bezier you’ll have to click four time(see below).
While drawing your Bezier curves, you can modify them using the option Modify Bezier. This option allows you to move your starting/arriving points also the orientation and intensity of the way.
In the Bezier settings you can manage the parameters of the Bezier. You have access to two styles of parameters:
The Preview option displays how the line will be created regarding the parameters. It is only available while drawing a Bezier.
While drawing a line or a Bezier, this tool allows you to remove your last vertices. This tool works only during the vectorization process. This tool will not remove vertices from a validated line.
Allows modifying the geographical coordinates of the vertices.
This tool allows you to insert vertices on a selected line. To do so activate the tool with the option insert vertex in the edition menu or with the I shortcut and simply click on your selected line where you want an additional vertex.
The Delete vertex tool allows you to delete any vertices on a selected line. To do so simply activate the tool selecting the option delete vertex in the Edition menu or with the C shortcut and aim for an unwanted vertex, it will be obliterated.
The Move shared Node allows to move a vertex which is assigned to more than one line. The point is to move a vertex by keeping the boundaries of every lines related to it. This tool is activated using the menu Edition→Move shared node(Ctrl+T) or using the corresponding button in the toolbar.
allows deleting the selected features
In the case of a multiple selection, a window appears asking a confirmation of the suppression.
The cut lines option allows cutting lines. The cut can only be done on a vertex.
The two lines will then have the attributes of the original line.
Allows merging the selected lines. The selected lines have to be adjacent, the lines must have a begin/end vertex in common.
Allows creating intersections between lines which cross themselves. All the segments created will keep their previous attributes
The Flip line option allows to reverse the polarity of the selected line. To check the polarity of the line you have to either open the vertex editor (see Edit vertex) and check the coordinates of the first vertex or use the Oriented line symbology. The tool can be used on multiple lines at once.
The snapping tools are accessible via the menu Edition → Snapping
During the vectorization of a point or line feature, the snapping function allows to hang on the nodes of an existing feature. The snapping can be done on the features of the active layer (i.e. current edition) and/or on features belonging to other layers (construction layers and vectorial support themes)
The snapping panel (Ctrl+G) is defined by the following elements:
Using the option Show snapping radius on map (Ctrl+Alt+G); you will display a circle in the top left corner of the visualization window representing the snapping tolerence.
The options Add layer… and Remove layer… are both accessible in the menu Edition → Snapping or with the contextual menu of the snapping panel.
