When this feature is turned on, a snap into coincident geometry causes a break in all features, creating new features and transferring existing attributes. Support for placing and editing true arc geometry was added in GeoMedia Pro 3.0. The product featured several different arc placement methods that allowed users to create linear or area geometry by drawing lines and arcs in any combination. In GeoMedia Pro 4.0, new editing commands are introduced, including the ability to copy features and several new placement modes. There are several different design approaches to data collection and development work flows.
Users can digitize all the graphics and then add nongraphic feature attributes.
Conversely, users may work with features that have attributes but no geometry, in which case they would add the line work to the attribute values. A third approach is to attribute the geometry as it's digitized. GeoMedia Pro can automatically produce an attribute entry dialog as each feature is digitized. Also, users can have the software automatically copy attributes from previous features to new features. GeoMedia Pro contains bulk attribution tools that allow users to update attributes of multiple features with specified values or calculation results.
