Adding objects to the legend

Once you have added an object to the drawing layer, you can add it to the legend. To do this, right-click on the object and select "Add this object to the legend". A line is added to the legend, using the symbology chosen for the object, and you can change the caption by clicking on "Caption text", which is displayed by default. You can delete a line from the legend by clicking on the bin icon at the end of the line.

 

Undo/Redo

You can undo the last actions performed on the map by clicking on "Undo" in the right-click menu or using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Z.
By default, the "Redo" button is greyed out, so as soon as you undo an action you can redo it. This can also be done using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Y.

 

Copy/Paste

It is possible to copy and paste any object already drawn on the map.
To copy an object, select it by clicking on it, right-click and click 'Copy'. Then right-click where you want to paste the object and click "Paste". The centre of the object will be positioned where you right-clicked.
