Making the Layers "Editable" - MapInfo_Pro - 2023

To make changes to the graphic objects in a layer, you must make the layer editable. You can draw objects on that layer, add text, combine, or delete objects. You can only make one layer editable at a time.

To make a layer editable:

1. On the HOME tab, in the Windows group, click Tool Windows, and click Explorer from the list, to open the Explorer window.
2. Click the Editable icon to make the layer editable.

You can also control whether the layer is editable via the Status Bar at the bottom of your screen.

To change the editable layer from the Status Bar:

1. Click the Editing box to display a list of the layers used in the Map window.
2. Choose the layer you want to make editable. Its name displays in the Status Bar.
3. To deactivate the ability to edit all the layers, choose None.
