Re: [udig-users] advanced editing tool preference -- what "advanced" functionality does it make available?
|
Hi Bishop,
I'm working on a response. The advanced mode basically allows you to
not need to change tool as much. For example the polygon tool can
create and edit polygons. For example you can layout a polygon and
add/remove and edit its verticies without having to change tools. For
the Edit tool it allows you to also add verticies by clicking on an
edge or line.
With regards to the previous email of moving multiple features. I am
checking to see if you can do it. No you can't. I could add a new
tool to do this quite easily though. It could work a couple ways:
1. You select with the tool all the features you want to move and
then drag them
2. When the tool is activated it imports all selected features(But
this is dangerous as it could fill all the memory of the application
which is why the other tools do not do this) and then the tool could
move the features. To reduce the change of memory problems there
could be a "first x features are imported" setting... but this would
likely lead to confusing behaviour.
The standard tool has all the plumbing to do this. I could add an
advanced feature that does this.
There used to be a comprehensive help on the tools including the
advanced features... But that seems to have been deleted now :(. I
will see if I can re-write in all my spare time...

Hi All (especially Jesse),
When you engage "advanced editing" in the edit tool's preferences,
what new "advanced" functionality becomes available? I have worked
with udig with this setting both off and on, and I have not noticed
any difference.
I would like to select multiple features and move them all as a
group (that is slide them all from their current location to a new
location), and so far, it seems that this cannot be done. I am
hopeful that "advanced" editing can provide this functionality.
(Note that on a tip from Jody Garnett that reshape may be able to
accomplish this task, but I have yet to find the function for
translating geometries -- the user documentation is currently off-
line.)
TIA,
bishop
