These tools are located in the dynamic portion of the Tool Palette and are only available when the Map module is active. The table below describes the feature object tools. Tool Tool Name Description Select Tool Generic selection tool that selects existing feature objects, including: nodes, vertices, arcs, and polygons. A selected object can be deleted, moved to a new location, or operated on by one of the commands in the Feature Objects menu. The coordinates of selected points/nodes can be edited using the Edit Window. Double-clicking on a object with this tool brings up that objects attribute dialog. Select Point/Node Selection tool that will only select existing points or nodes. A selected point/node can be deleted, moved to a new location, or operated on by one of the commands in the Feature Objects menu. The coordinates of selected points/nodes can be edited using the Edit Window. Double-clicking on a point or node with this tool brings up the Point or Node Attribute dialog. Select Vertex Selection tool that will only select existing vertices on arcs. Once selected, a vertex can be deleted, moved to a new location, or operated on by one of the commands in the Feature Objects menu. The coordinates of a selected vertex can be edited using the Edit Window. Select Arc Selection tool that will only select existing arcs to perform operations such as deletion, redistribution of vertices, or building polygons. Double-clicking on an arc with this tool brings up the Arc Attributes dialog. Select Arc Group Selection tool that is used to select an arc group to assign attributes or to display the computed flux on the arc group. An arc group is created by selecting a set of arcs and selecting the Create Arc Group command. An arc group is deleted by selecting the arc group and selecting the Delete key or by selecting the Delete command in the Edit menu. Deleting an arc group does NOT delete the underlying arc objects. Select Polygon Selection tool that will only select previously created polygons for operations such as deletion, assigning attributes, etc. A polygon is selected by clicking anywhere in the interior of the polygon. Double-clicking on a polygon with this tool brings up the Polygon Attributes dialog. Select Grid Frame Selection tool used to select grid frames, allowing for the editing of the grid frame. Once the grid frame is selected, the placement and size of the grid frame can be edited by clicking on small rectangles and dragging.
