Quick Point Creator
The Quick
Point Creator streamlines the process of creating point features.
To activate the Quick Point Creator, choose Create
Point/Text Features sub menu by right- clicking and then select Show Quick
Point Creator... from the Digitizer menu.
The first time the Quick Point Creator is used,
you will have to choose the point styles
to be included in the list by clicking the setup... button to access a
list of available point styles.
After a 'Quick Point' list has been set-up, the styles will then be displayed
in a palette that can then be used to select the point style to be used
when creating points.
To create a point, click the desired style
in the palette, then click the main Global Mapper map interface to choose
the location for the point. At this time, a Modify Feature
Info window will be displayed, and the user can specify details
about the new feature. The user can put a check next to Automatically
apply these settings to new features of the same type to skip the
Modify Feature Information dialog when placing subsequent points of the
same style.
When the user clicks on the palette in the
Quick Point Creator window to choose a new style, the Modify
Feature Info window will be displayed again so the user can specify
details for point features using the new style.
Use the Setup... button to modify the list of point styles in the palette. Put a check next to Automatically Create Point at GPS Location to use the selected style when collecting points from a GPS.
