Map tools

The Map tools section includes the following settings:

• Enable directional pad—When enabled, arrow buttons are available to pan the map.
• Enable map rotation using the directional pad—When enabled, a slider is available to rotate the map.

These tools can be used to navigate the map without leaving editing modes (either creating or editing features) and without using keyboard shortcuts.

Editing

The Editing section includes the following settings:

• Show the Attribute pane when creating features—When enabled, the Create features pane appears after the geometry for the feature is added. The Create features pane allows you to update the attributes for the feature at the time it is created. If this setting is turned off, the feature is created when the geometry is added, without providing the option to update the attributes. This option may be preferred in situations in which the fields have default values that do not need to be updated.
• Show delete features prompt—When enabled, a message appears when features are deleted. The message allows you to confirm the deletion or cancel it.
• Units—Change the units to US Standard or Metric.

Shortcuts

The Shortcuts section includes the Show shortcut keys on tooltips setting. When enabled, the shortcut for a tool appears in the tooltip for the corresponding button.

Versioning

The Versioning section includes the Show prompt when editing the default version setting. When enabled, a message appears when you attempt to edit the default version of a dataset, rather than a branch version. The message allows you to continue editing the default version or cancel.

Utility network

The Utility network section includes the Enable utility network highlighting setting. When enabled, this setting highlights features you can connect to while editing. For example, if you can connect anywhere on a line, the whole line is highlighted. The highlighted features will change according to the features that are on the map and which feature templates have been selected.
