TEMPEST.114 Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 As title says. When trying to create a counties border polygon, its impossible to be even remotely accurate due to the scale. You can't pan the map or zoom in/out without causing mistakes whilst holding down the draw shape left mouse button. So, instead, it can be more accurate to zoom in and draw the borders using the LINE FREE tool. However, you can only see a small part of the borders, so you still have to zoom/pan around, meaning you have to stop drawing that line. This means you end up with many un-joined lines forming the majority of the border. It would be really handy to have a feature to multi select the lines and create a complex polygon from them by the M.E adding control points between each line. Even if you only joined two lines at a time (for reducing complexities sake) then eventually when you join the last broken line back to the first, it becomes a fully enclosed complex polygon. There is just no way to create accurate borders without this or without the FREE POLYGON tool not drawing control points when the map pans and zooms...
