On the Mapview toolbar, feature construction tools for polyline and polygon layers create features using the pointer. Segment construction tools for the active tool are available on the construction toolbar in the map view and above the context menu when you right-click the map.
Polygon feature tools
Polygon feature construction tools are described in the following table:
Tool | Description |
---|---|
Create irregular polygon features. Feature geometry can comprise straight and curvilinear segments using the segment tools that appear on the construction toolbar. | |
Create planar circular features using the pointer or numeric values to specify a center and a radius. | |
Create planar rectangular or square features using the pointer or numeric values. | |
Create planar ellipse features using the pointer or numeric values. | |
Create a free-form polygon with the pointer. When you finish the sketch, all segments are converted to Bézier curves. |
Polyline feature tools
Polyline feature construction tools are described in the following table:
Tool | Description |
---|---|
Create polyline features comprising multiple straight and curvilinear segments. | |
Create straight segments constrained to 90 degrees from each previous segment. | |
Create a polyline feature across an existing line feature on the same layer and split both lines where they intersect. | |
Create two-point line features. The feature is automatically finished when you create the second vertex. | |
Create a free-form polyline feature that follows the pointer. Clicking the map a second time finishes the feature and automatically converts the segments to a series of Bézier curves. |
