The Shape Information popup opens in the top right of the workspace. If you delete the Shape Information popup for any reason you can retrieve it by left clicking once back on the relevant shape.
3.Click inside the closed shape that you would like to fill.
Promap will fill the closed shape with the fill and outline styles currently selected in the Shape properties dialog box. To learn how to change these settings see Shape Properties.
The Shape Information popup will show you the perimeter and area of the filled shape.
4.Fill any other shapes that you want to measure by clicking them.
5.Turn the tool off again by clicking it on the Draw & Measure toolbar.
Tips •You should only fill fully closed shapes, i.e. shapes where there are no visible gaps in the boundary. If there is a gap, the colour will spill into other areas of the map. •The Fill tool is only available on a Detail map. |
