Envirocheck Masterclass - Article 3

This week we look at advanced drawing options to help you accurately define your site.

The Envirocheck Masterclass is run in conjunction with our free Masterclass webinars, which demonstrate the features in action.  To register for the next free webinar click here.


Envirocheck advanced drawing tools


When using Envirocheck to outline your site there are some keyboard shortcuts which can help speed up the process:
  • “add point/remove point” – If you realise you have made a mistake after outlining your site rather than delete the shape and start again, simply use either the “add point” or “remove point” options to amend your shape.
  • Space Bar – Instead of clicking on each dot around the curve to outline your site when using Snap to Point:
    • Click on the first white dot
    • Then hold down the space bar and click on the last white dot
    • (Note: The orange and white dots are sourced from different databases. So if you have an orange dot along the curve you will have to click to that before the next white dot to use this shortcut)  
  • L Key – Press L whilst using the shape tool to fix the length of the line.
  • A Key – Press A whilst using the shape tool to fix the angles for your shape.
