Editing vectors

There are a variety of tools you can use to edit vectors.

Note: Some of the changes you can make using the vector-editing tools can affect the attributes of the shape you are editing. For example, when you combine two shapes by clicking Merge Line/Polygon, the attributes of the shapes are also combined.

For information on each tool, see:
