How
to avoid accidentally dragging shapes out of position
When roaming around on your map screen (primarily when using the left click and drag option) there is the chance that you may accidentally drag a shape out of position. To avoid this happening you can choose either of the following two options:
- Hold down the ALT key whilst roaming on your map. This will act as a temporary lock key and will hold everything in position.
- Right click on your shape when you have it selected and select the lock option from the drop down menu (shown in the image above).
How to undo incorrect points when in the process of adding a site outline
- If you make a mistake whilst in the process of applying a site outline using the shape tool in Promap you can undo it using the “backspace” key on your keyboard.
If
you have made a mistake on your outline, rather than delete it and start again
just follow the steps below:
·
Turn
off shape tool
·
Left
click away from your shape
·
Left
click back on your shape to select it
·
Press
return/enter on the keyboard
This
will undo the final click that completed your shape, undoing it and then
allowing you to use the “backspace” key to rectify the shape.
