Modified on 2016/03/09 18:17 by Chad — Categorized as: Uncategorized
After saving a border in Surety Pro, it may be necessary to edit or modify that border and update the saved record. A variety of drawing tools can be used to accomplish this process depending on how the border needs to be modified.
Manually modify the boundary of a saved border
Split a saved border into 2 separate borders
Merge 2 saved borders together
Manually move the saved boundary lines and points
¶
This can be done easily with the Smart Select drawing tool.
First locate your saved border that requires modification.
Click the Drawing tool in the left panel.
Click Smart Select
Left click once inside the saved field border to select and draw out that border.
Now the border can be modified with the Smart select or the Draw field tool.
See the
Draw Field
page for help on working with border nodes.
Once you have your desired changes completed, click the
Save Borders
link on the right panel.
The map will reload and the green border will reflect your updated saved border.
When modifying and re-saving, any farm name and field ids will be retained.
Split Saved Border
¶
You can split a saved border with the split field drawing tool.
Locate a saved border and select the
Split Field Drawing Tool
in the left panel
Select the field and split it. If you need to adjust the split line you can by entering in different values within the Adjust Acres boxes and clicking apply. Once you are finished adjusting click
Finish
.
Click
Save Borders
.
Note: When splitting a
saved
border, do not use the select option in the Adjust acres popup if your intent is to immediately re-save the boundary as split. If you would like to only save one side, Click Finish and then select the boundary that you want deleted with the select tool and click edit borders to delete it.
The Select buttons can be used if you are not planning on saving the split field as such. It is used if you want to generate a map or form using only one side or the other (or both).
Note: Only the yellow side will retain the name of the field. You must select the boundary and click
Edit Borders
to rename it.
Merge Saved Borders
¶
Using the Merge Fields drawing tool, it is possible to merge 2 or more boundaries with at least one of them being saved.
First locate the
Merge Fields
tool in the left panel.
Then click on the borders that you want merged together. Click on the border who's name you want as the merged border first.
After
Merge Selected
is clicked, the separate borders are now one drawing. Click
Save Borders
to update the Saved border records.
The Record is now updated and using the Farm and Field name of the first boundary that was selected in the previous step.
You can also merge a saved border with an FSA border or a drawn border in the same method.
