Edit a Layer or Features in a Layer

You can edit Features or Layers in Spatial Manager Desktop™ as follows:

• In “Editable” Layers.
  • “External”.
    • You can “Delete” selected features (“Standard” and “Professional” editions only). You can also “Delete” from the right-click menu of the Data Grid.
    • You can modify values in any field directly in the Data Grid (“Standard” and “Professional” editions only) or using:
      • “Find and replace” function (“Standard” and “Professional” editions only), to find and replace values in the Data Grid for a layer.
      • “Multiple Edition” function (“Standard” and “Professional” editions only), to modify the value of a field in the Data Grid only for a layer. This function may be applied to all features in the layer or only to selected features (if any).
  • “Embedded in the Map” Layers.
    • All the above, and:
    • You can add a copy of the selected features (if any) to the layer using the “Copy to layer” function.
    • You can “Add”, “Delete”, or “Rename” fields in the Data Grid (“Standard” and “Professional” editions only).
• In “Non editable” Layers.
  • There is no way to edit a “Non editable Layer” or its features. You can “Disconnect” a “Non editable” layer from its read-only source, or you can select all features in the layer and “Make” a new layer including a copy of the selected objects.
