Tips

  • When you are drawing polygons, you can draw holes inside edited polygons by holding down Shift.
  • You can copy the attribute table to a spreadsheet like Excel (or any program that accepts tab-delimited data). In the attribute window, press Ctrl+A to select all the rows, then press Ctrl+C to copy the data to the clipboard. You can then go to your spreadsheet program and paste in the data.
  • If you have a layer containing a single feature that you want to use for the fence, simply rename the layer to “Fence”.
  • If you need to pan during drawing: 1) press and hold down the “Shift” and “Alt” keys, 2) pan, 3) release the keys, 4) go on drawing
  • If you want to open ECW raster image, find on web ER Mapper ECW drivers (NcsCnet.dll,NCSEcw.dll and NCSUtil.dll) and copy them in Openjump/LIB/EXT folder.
