Arc Map Toolbars Arc Map provides data editing and manipulation tools in nine distinct toolbars that can be added to the interface. Users can also create and add custom toolbars. The standard toolbars available in Arc Map are listed in Table 1. Users can create, modify, and delete data as well as perform many other functions using the Editor toolbar. It offers more CAD-like functionality than previous versions of ArcInfo and allows precise adjustments and additions to data.
Editor employs the concept of an edit sketch.
The user digitizes a sketch of the points or vertices that make up a new feature. Once the process of edit sketch is started, the user can choose another command tool or perform another operation and then resume editing the sketch right where editing previously stopped. New construction tools allow the addition of features parallel or perpendicular to any other feature present on the map, and segments can be constrained to a specific length, radius, angle, or deflection angle. True curves, a much-requested feature, are available in Version 8 and can be created, edited, and maintained in Editor. Editor also employs the concept of an edit task.
