• Draw files created in a particular project are displayed only if that project is currently
displaying. For example, if DrawLayer27 is created in a project named Yarmouth
Zoom 14 only, DrawLayer27 does not display if a project named Old Port is currently
displaying.
Routable roads and routable trails are not tied to a project; they do not change even
•
when a project is changed.
What are draw objects?
Draw objects are those objects you add to a draw file with the tools provided in the Draw
tab. Draw objects consist of line, area, or point objects. You can copy, move, delete, and
add draw objects to other draw files and add them to another project.
Line objects are those objects consisting of line segments and points, such as:
•
Routable Roads
•
Routable Trails
•
Tracks
•
Lines
•
Arcs
•
Splines
•
• Area objects are those objects consisting of one or more closed line objects, such as:
Polygons
•
• Rectangles
Circles
•
Point objects consist of one anchor point attached to either a waypoint, symbol,
•
MapNote, image, or text label. The anchor point is the pixel position on the symbol
that corresponds to the geographic coordinate of the point selected on the map when
the symbol is placed.
Draw objects added to a draw file contain points that give the object its shape or allow you
to snap one object to another object. Points display and act in different ways within the
various draw objects. Click a link below to view additional information.
