The Edit Geometry tool allows you to change the geometry of an individual feature. For example, you may want to adjust boundaries or remove overlaps.

This function is inactive for grouped features in the list. You can click on the group and see the individual features, and the edit function is available for each.

Parallel editing of geometry and attributes is not supported.

To avoid unwanted changes to the database, it is strongly recommended that you make feature changes in a version. Only after a reconcile should this version be returned to the original data set.

To edit geometry:

1.Select the feature to edit.

2.Go to Edit > Edit Geometry.

The editing tools appear, as described below.

Button

Description

VN_Bt_Help

Open the keyboard shortcuts.

VN_Bt_Genauigkeit

Enable high precision input.

VN_Bt_Map_Back

Undo the last operation.

VN_Bt_Map_Forward

Redo the next operation.

VN_Bt_Cancel_Geometry_Editing

Discard all changes to this geometry.

VN_Bt_Teilnetz_geprüft

Keep all changes to this geometry and proceed.

VN_Bt_Remove_Vertex

Remove current geometry vertex.

This function is displayed when a vertex has been selected.

You can grab and move the vertices of the feature geometry and use the above tools to edit.

Editing geometry is based on the VertiGIS Studio Web sketch tool.  See the VertiGIS Studio Web documentation for more information on keyboard shortcuts.

Additional snapping and editing tools are described below.

Button

Description

VN_Bt_SnapOn

Current state is snapping on.
Activates snapping guides on all supported layers.

VN_Bt_SnapOff

Current state is snapping off.
Deactivates snapping guides on all layers where snapping is not required.

VN_Bt_SnapModeUNRules

Snapping with Utility Network Rules on. 

If this function is switched on, Utility Network Assets are snapped according to the connectivity rules of the utility network.

The Snapping ON function must be active for this mode to be effective.

snapping-UN-off

Snapping with Utility Network Rules off.

If this function is switched off, Utility Network Assets snap all the layers on the map.

The Snapping ON function must be active for this mode to be effective.

topology-editng-on

Topology editing is turned on, which enables you to edit shared edges or vertices of adjacent features simultaneously.

Topology editing is turned on by default.

topology-editing-off

Topology editing is turned off. 

To deactivate snapping, hold down the Alt key.

If the geometry of existing lines is changed so that a line end point ends at a network point for which terminals are defined, the line is automatically connected to the appropriate terminal(s).
If the changed line cannot be clearly connected to a terminal, the terminal dialog is displayed. You can manually connect the line to the desired terminal. See Connecting Terminals for more information.
