Editing Tools

The Editing tools allow users add new features to the map, edit existing features, and delete features.

Note: Merges, splits, renumbering and deletions must still be done in ArcMap using the special Lucity Editing Tools.

Note: After using a tool, the cursor automatically switches back to pan mode. To use a tool again, you must click it again.

- For a point, click a location in the map.
- For a line, click a location in the map to begin the line and click another location to finish the section and start a new one. Double-click to end the line.
- For a polygon, click a location in the map to begin a side. Then, click another location to end a side and start a new one. Double-click to automatically end the polygon.
After double-clicking, the Attributes window appears:
