To create a new vectorial, follow these instructions:
1. Open the vectorial map edition bar (vectorial editor) using the main menu option ‘Maps > Create new vectorial map’ and write the name you want to give the new map.
2. You can create polygons or polylines. You can choose between two ways of starting to create any of these two objects:
• Click on the button ‘Polygon’ or ‘Polyline’. When you do this will, the new window that appears will allow you to configure the different elements.
• Once you have done this, left click on the point where you want to start drawing the polygon or the polyline. Once you have created the first point, continue creating points until you have drawn the shape you want.
• Right click on the point where you want to start the drawing, choose between ‘Create polygon’ and ‘Create polyline’ and the first point is automatically created. Continue creating points by left clicking with the mouse.
You can also create lines and polygons drawing them free hand. If you prefer to use this method you will first have to draw at least two points using the method just explained. You can now select the tool draw by dragging, hold down the left button of the mouse over the last point you have drawn and move and draw the shape you want. When you leave the left hand button you will be asked if you agree to the drawing, when you answer yes the shape will be added onto the line formed by the two initial points.
3. If you are satisfied with the elements you have just created, close the vectorial map edition bar (vectorial editor) and save the map. Open the context menu on the data tree and select the option ‘Multimaps, advanced… > Save as…’ You can give the map a new name or keep the one you wrote when you started the edition.
