gvSIG-Desktop 1.1. Manual de usuario.

Firstly, enable the layer you wish to edit by selecting it in the ToC. Place the cursor over it and right click on the mouse. The contextual menu appears. Select the “Start edition” option.

N.B.: More than one layer can be edited and you can alternate what you do with them. However, whatever you do will only take effect on the active layer. To change the layer you are working on, select it in the ToC.

When you finish your editing session, go to the “Finish edition” option in the contextual menu.

N.B.: The application will create a projection of the object you are working on to help you with the graphic editing. This will allow you to get a visual idea of the obtained result. The object projection will be shown in red.

The figure shows how a projection of the figure copied in a different colour is created during the copying process. This projection allows you to specify exactly where you want to place the new object in the graphic area.
