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.

Description |
|
Open the keyboard shortcuts. |
|
Enable high precision input. |
|
Undo the last operation. |
|
Redo the next operation. |
|
Discard all changes to this geometry. |
|
Keep all changes to this geometry and proceed. |
|
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.

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 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 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 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.
