1Edit Settings

The Settings interface can be accessed from the Main App bar.

To reach these options:

  1. Open the Upper and Lower App Bars by right-clicking with the mouse or swiping up from the bottom on a touch screen.

  2. On the Main App bar select Settings.

Windows 10 only:

  1. Select the Menu icon in the window bar located at the bottom of the interface.

  2. Select the Settings option.

Setting

Description

Snapping

When turned on, all clicks or taps on the map for adding vertices are snapped to any visible features.

If not turned on, the snap button from the context bar can be used for snapping individual taps/clicks.

Snapping Tolerance (Pixels)

The tolerance threshold (in pixels) for how far away a feature has to be before snapping is applied.

Multi Select

When turned on, feature selections are cumulative and the previous selection is not cleared to allow you to select multiple features.

If using a Keyboard, this can effect can also be temporarily achieved by holding Ctrl when clicking.

Show Validation Hotspots

When turned on, hotspot markers are shown in the area the error is to be found. For more, see Performing Validation.

Show Properties Panel after Capture

When turned on, once a new feature has been digitised it is automatically selected and the attribute browser is shown.

      Note: This setting will not take effect if Repeat Mode is being used, nor for functions that capture multiple features at once, such as Creating points at defined intervals.

Stop Invalid Digitising

When turned on, if a new vertex is digitised 1Edit will check that the resulting geometry will be valid and display an error message to users who try to create an invalid feature.

Support Secondary Geometries

When turned on, 1Edit lists any secondary geometries of a selected feature. This allows secondary geometries to be selected, created, or edited.

      Note: Only relevant when the schema contains classes with more than one geometry property.

Double-Tap to Accept

When turned on, allows double-click or double tap to be used for accepting an edit.

Editing Hints

When turned on, displays hints above the status bar to guide the user as to what input is expected during editing operations. This can be useful when training new users.

Toast Notifications

When turned on, errors encountered when digitising are shown in a pop-up window as well as in the Status bar.

Zoom Buttons Visible

When turned on, makes explicit zoom in and zoom out buttons visible on the status bar.

This can be useful for users without touch screens or wheel mouse, or those using a stylus.

Use simpler animations for performance

Set this option on to use a simpler and faster method for animating to avoid performance issues on hardware that struggles with panning or zooming, or when re-drawing while moving vertices.

      Note: When panning or zooming out, you will not be able to see the data outside of the map window until the pan or zoom is complete, and when zooming in the image will temporarily appear pixelated until the zoom in is complete.

Flip App Bars

When turned on, swaps the position of the upper and lower app bars.

This can be useful when holding a tablet in a harness against your body to make the lower app bar more easily accessible.

On-the-fly Validation

When turned on, any data edits automatically trigger validation to be performed on the edited features, and any invalid features are highlighted.

Max Deviation of a curve (m)

When capturing circles and arcs, they are densified into a sequence of straight-line segments. This value specifies how far from a true curve the vertices can deviate and therefore how many vertices to create.

Squaring Tolerance

When using the Square operation, specifies (in degrees) how close to 90 degrees an angle should be before it is squared.

For example, a value of 10 degrees means that an angle that is 99 or 81 degrees will be squared, but an angle of 70 or 110 degrees will not.

Deselect Feature after editing

When turned on, specifies that after an editing operation the feature that was edited should be deselected.

This setting is automatically disabled if:

  • The Repeat digitising function is active

  • You are digitising a new part or hole

  • The Show Properties Panel and Digitising option is on

Geometry Import Error Resolution

Specify what should happen when a feature can not be loaded because its geometry is incorrect (for example, self-intersecting polygons or vertices closer that the geometric tolerance).

  • THROW ERROR - Stop loading the data and report the error.

  • IGNORE ERROR - Skip this feature and continue loading.

  •       Note: This means that there may be missing features in your project.

  • AUTO-FIX ERRORS - Try to fix the problem and continue.

  •       Note: This will try to remove identical vertices. If the problem can not be fixed, it stops loading the data and reports the error.

Moving node only moves final vertex of edge

When on, specifies that when moving a topology node only the final segment of the connected edges are moved to the final position of the node.

When off, the whole geometry of the connect edges are rotated and scaled to the new position of the node.

      Note: Only relevant when the project has topologies defined.

Infer Metadata Properties

      Note: This setting relies on specific schema naming conventions, and should be turned off unless your data uses these same conventions.

When off, properties of an object are listed in the properties panel as a flat list.

When on, 1Edit it looks at the names of the attributes to analyse if some are metadata of others.

If a property starts with the name of another property (or the name of another property after removing '_value' from the end) then its considered metadata of the property and shown nested within an expandable list under the main property.

      Example:  

EnglishNameValue

EnglishNameCaptureDate

Geometry

GeometryCaptureDate

Disable Clipping

Disabling clipping can have a positive impact on performance when navigating data sets with very large polygons (e.g. county sized). For most data sets with normal sized polygons it is recommended that clipping is left enabled (setting off) as it can cause a performance drain if disabled.

Logging Mode

When Logging Mode is on, 1Edit writes screen interaction events to a file. This file can be sent to 1Spatial support to provide more information when investigating and debugging any issues.

This file is called Log - [datestamp].log and is created in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Packages\1Edit_qw7y987j427n8\LocalState\MetroLogs. 1

Open in Safe Style Mode

If you experience an application locking issue when opening a Project and the Style uses a WMTS web service that is unstable, you can opt to open 1Edit in Safe Style Mode mode.

If you select this mode then 1Edit will open the project in a style that does not use web services.

      Note: Remember to switch Safe Style Mode off after the web services become stable again.

Version Number

You can view which version of 1Edit is in use through settings, as it is displayed at the bottom of the interface.
