Creating a new vector layer

You can create a new empty vector layer when you want to use digitized map information, break your map into different layers with specific geographical information, or when you want to create vectors on top of an image in the view pane.

  1. In the Maps tree, right-click an area and click New Vector Layer.
  2. In the New Vector Layer window, enable a Layer Type option.
  3. Enable a Georeferencing option and fill in the appropriate information.
  4. Click OK.
