gvSIG-Desktop 1.12. Manual de usuario

This new functionality has been introduced to facilitate the task of filling a field in a table with consecutive numbers by means of a mathematical function in the field calculator.

This function is typically used for the "ID" field of a layer's geometries. To access it you need to activate edit mode for the layer and then open the table. Select the field (of type Integer) to which you want to add consecutive numbers and click on the field calculator.
