Add a New Layer

The CSDatum Map only displays the menu items for layers and asset types that you're using. If you'd like to use a new type of data in the Map, you can add that data type with the Add Layer button in the map menu.

After clicking Add Layer, the program shows all the layers that could be added to the map. Click on a layer to add it.

Add a New Asset Type

After adding the new layer, next, click on the specific asset type to add to the map.

Clicking on the asset type opens the editing mode to add a specific asset to the map.

Add Data to the Map

Each asset is recorded on the map as a point, line, or polygon.

Points

Points are added with one click on the map.

Lines

Begin a Line features with one click at the start point, one click at each change of direction, and a double click at the end.

Polygons

Polygons are closed shapes. Begin a polygon with one click on the map. Click at the location of each change in direction, and double click at the end to complete the polygon.
