In all likelihood, you will need to change or edit some of the objects you have drawn or mapped. To begin this process, you need to make the layer that you want to change editable (On the HOME tab, in the Windows group, click Tool Windows, and click Layers from the list, to open the Layers window, and then click the Editable icon for the layer).
To edit an object:
- On the SPATIAL tab, in the Selection group, click Select, and Select. Click on the object in the map.
If the object is a line, edit handles appear at either endpoint.
If the object is a boundary or region, edit handles appear at the outer corners of the object.
- Drag the object to a new position or change its line style, fill pattern, or symbol.
- From the HOME tab, File group, click Save.
Deleting Objects
To delete an object:
- On the SPATIAL tab, in the Selection group, click Select, and Select. Click on the object in the map.
- Do one of the following:
- On the MAP tab, in the Clipboard group, click Cut.
- Press the Delete key.
Using either method, MapInfo Pro deletes the object. To view an object's nodes, centroids, and line direction when editing and drawing, set the conditions in the Layer Properties dialog box (on the PRO tab, click Options).
