Placing a Circle, Rectangle, or Polygon on the Map

You can place any area object (circle, rectangle, or polygon) at a specific coordinate

location.

To Place an Area Object on the Map

Use the following steps to place a circle, rectangle, or polygon on the map.

1. Click the Draw tab.

2. Click and hold the Polygon/Rectangle/Circle tool

and select the

tool you want.

3. Select the circle fill, outline, and/or width options.

4. To place a circle on the map, enter the coordinates for the circle's center into the

corresponding text boxes. Then, enter the radius for the circle into the radius text

box.

To place a rectangle on the map, select the Coordinate option or use the Distance

and Bearing/Angle option in conjunction with the Coordinate option. Enter the

appropriate coordinates or numbers for the rectangle's upper-left corner point into

the corresponding text boxes to the right of the fill options box.

To place a polygon on the map, select the Coordinate option or use the Distance

and Bearing/Angle option in conjunction with the Coordinate option, and enter

the appropriate coordinates or numbers for the first polygon point into the

corresponding text boxes to the right of the fill options box.

5. Click Apply.

Note If you are placing a polygon on the map, repeat the procedure for the other

points.

Waypoints, Symbols, MapNotes, Text Labels, and Images

Adding a Waypoint, Symbol, MapNote, Text Label, or

Image to the Map

You can add point draw objects to a draw file in your current map file. Point objects consist

of one anchor point attached to a waypoint, symbol, MapNote, image, or text label. The

anchor point is the pixel position on the symbol that corresponds to the geographic

coordinate of the point selected on the map when the symbol is placed.

• Use the Waypoint tool to label waypoints on a map. You can exchange waypoints

with a GPS receiver.

• Use the Symbol tool to identify certain areas on the map such as houses,

monuments, or points of interest.

• Use the MapNote tool to point to and label a specific area on the map. See Map

Notes for more information.

• Use text labels to name features or give details about features on the map.

• Use the Image tool to add, edit, or place .bmp, .jpg, and .gif images on the map.
