3.2.4.3Inserting, Appending, and Prepending in Existing Lines and Areas

Previously collected lines and areas can be amended or continued by Inserting, Appending, or Prepending with noded or streamed data.

One of the complexities of adding new data is knowing the order in which a feature was collected. This can be done by using the Previous and Next commands in the Node submenu to discern the direction of collection.

Inserting into a Feature (Node Mode)

1.Select the desired feature to be appended, either graphically or from Feature Management.

2.Select a node adjacent to the point you wish to insert either graphically or from the 2 Node Management table.

3.Select Menu and choose the 2 Node submenu.

4.Select 6 Insert New.

5.Select Before or 2 After.

Tip: Because the nature of collection is to continue in the same direction as the collected feature, it is advised to insert After an existing node for multiple nodes or streaming!
