Guaranteed Way to Select One Vertice?

Roger Edrinn

Is their a Guaranteed Way to Select One Vertice? I'm so frustrated with the drawing tools.

Even if I start with the desired area selected and zoom in to microscopic levels the pointer selects another area. If I rubber band around the vertice, it selects 15 objects. This program really needs the ability to see but not select. Spend a day with CorelDraw to appreciate a really elegant drawing tool. No CD won't make contours or so many of the cool things GM will do, but . . .

On a side question, is their a way to determine which layer an object belongs to? I tried double clicking on a object, no help. Perhaps I could turn off some layers to help if I could associate an object to a layer.

Thanks

Just a single left click will at most select one vertex, but of course this can be problematic in regions where there are multiple stacked features. Hopefully with the new functionality for splitting areas even when multiple features are selected this will make the drag a box selection grabbing extra features be more acceptable.

If you select a feature with the Feature Info tool you can see the layer that it is in. You can right click to cycle through nearby features with the Feature Info tool.

I'm aware that much can be done to improve the Digitizer Tool, but I'm only one man and that's only one small part of the larger application! Give me Corel Draw's programming development department and much more could be added (of course then Global Mapper would cost $1000 to cover the extra cost).

Thanks,

Mike,

I totally understand the programming constraints you're under as a one man operation. Very much a double-edged sword. On one hand we get world class customer support, but on the other hand . . . one man can only do so much.

I very much appreciate what I have and I'm only expressing frustration because I've experience other programs and to the extent possible I'm hoping for more. Perhaps, mine and others experiences will cause you to devote more of your limited resources to the drawing interface. One can hope.

Having experienced the forum for a month, I'm amazed at the diverse array of interest and user needs. So I clearly understand how you are pulled a hundred ways at once.

Many thanks for all your efforts.

Roger
