Add to a vector layer

Drawing Features directly on to an Existing Layer

• Follow a sidebar link to the admin page
• Find the layer you’d like to add to from the “layer operations” panel on the right - for example “roads” or “creeks”
• Click “draw” on the line for that layer
• You will now see a live map of the fire atlas.
• Zoom to the area you want to work on.
• Draw your new features
• In the controls panel at upper right:
• set any Properties for your new Feature
• Click "Reset" to clear all drawing you've done since last save
• Clcik "Save" to store current state of Features you've drawn into the layer.

Drawing Paths

For drawing Paths (aka "LineStrings", think roads and creeks): * click once to start drawing. * Move mouse to next "turn" or "control point" of the path you're drawing. * If you don't move very far, the App will think you're ending the path. * Zoom in if needed to draw close together points without ending the path. * Click again on the last point if you want to end the path you've drawn. * Draw as meny paths as you want, but they will all be part of a single Feature. * They will all have the same Properties - so don't draw multiple roads you'll want to have different names, for example. * Labels will tend to go with paths

Drawing Polygons and Areas

• draw a path as above enclosing a region
• no holes
• click on first point when finished
• hit 'escape' key to get out of drawing mode if needed

Drawing Points and Labels

• Draw sets of points that will all have the same Properties
• Consider importing points as Lat/Long using the field in the Control Panel
