Customize editing options

ArcGIS Drone2Map supports the customization of the editing toolbar that appears when you are actively editing features in a map or scene. Additionally, you can further customize other editing settings, such as snapping, through the status bar at the bottom left of a map or scene. The Snapping Settings dialog box contains all the available options for customizing the editing toolbar and status bar.

The status bar appears at the bottom of the active map or scene. It provides quick access to drawing aids such as snapping, constraint modes, and the editing grid. You can show or hide the buttons that appear on the status bar.

The editing toolbar contains commands related to the active editing tool. By default, it appears horizontally at the bottom of the active map or scene. You can customize the size and location of the toolbar.
