Introduction
- Objective of this section
- To handle new or existing layers and to manage layer storage. To review application automation systems and to try to locate sources not found for map layers
- Topics in this section
- Making of layers: new layer from a features selection and editing the structure of the data table
- Adding features to layers: over new layers
- Exporting new layers: definition of the target and its parameters
- Saving modified layers: manually or by closing maps or the application
- Automating source locations: changing data source locations of a map
- Data sources properties: differential icons and properties
How can I edit a Layer, or Features in a Layer, in Spatial Manager Desktop™?
You can edit Features or Layers in Spatial Manager Desktop™ as follow:
- In 'editable' Layers
- You can 'Delete' selected Features
- You can modify values in any field, directly or using:
- 'Find and replace' function, to find and replace values in the Data grid for a Layer
- 'Multiple Edition' function, to modify the value for a Field only for a Layer. This function may be applied to all Features in the Layer or only to selected Features (if any)
- In 'new' Layers
- All the above (because a 'new' Layer is an 'editable' Layer also), and
- You can 'Delete' or 'Rename' Fields
- You can add a copy of the selected Features (if any) to the Layer
- In 'not editable' Layers
- There is no way to edit a 'not editable Layer' or his Features. You can 'Disconnect' a 'not editable' Layer from his source, or you can select all Features in the Layer and 'Make' a new Layer including a copy of the selected objects
