Layer Management > Layer Manager

Setting Editable

On the map you might add many layers, and you may add more than one layer of the same type. For example, two line layers, two point layers and two polygon layers are added to a map. When you would like to edit point features from layer which is one of the point layers, the system cannot recognize which point layer you intend to edit. Therefore, we need to specify that only one layer of a type of layers is editable. In other words, at most one point layer, one line layer and one polygon layer can be set editable at a time. Then, the system can correctly judge the editing acts are made to which layer. As a result, only one layer of one type is able to be set editable.

At the bottom of the “Layer Manager” dialog box, a list shows all of the layers. And you can see below the layer by default, which means the layer is in-editable; if you tap the icon again, it becomes , which means editable. You can determine whether to set the layer editable or not by directly tapping this icon. Moreover, only one layer of one type (point layer/line layer/polygon layer) is able to set editable. Thus, if you already set point layer A editable and you want to set point layer B editable, you can tap of layer B to switch to . Then, you will see layer A automatically switch to . The final result is only layer B is editable.

NOTE: Raster image layer can be displayed only but is unable to be edited.
