Identify Entity

 

 

 

This tool, located on Tools Menu > Show Map Editing Tools > Advanced Tools > Reporting, is intended for advanced troubleshooting of line and area geometry. Click this menu item and then select an entity on the map. The following details about the selected entity are displayed:

 

Enumerated Vertexes

Each vertex of the entity is labeled in numeric order where the start of the path is labeled "0:start" and each vertex after that is numbered 0:1, 0:2, 0:3, etc. The prefix on each label is the path number. Lines only have one path (path zero), but areas can have multiple paths aka "rings". If the labels are congested then zoom in closer and run the identify entity again.

 

Tile/Offset

These numbers identify where this entity is stored within the indexed geometry storage of the tml file

 

Type

The type of entity. P=polyline, G=polygon(area), S=symbol, C=label, I=raster image

 

Ftr

Feature number of entity's parent feature
