The following sections list the shortcuts available for each editing tool and which functions they perform from within that tool. s common to all editing tools rcgis 10.2 Locate topic Z X C B V SC CTL+Z CTL+Y Shortcuts common to all editing tools Zoom in.

If you hold down, then click and drag, you can insert the vertex and move it in one motion. elete the vertex you click. Hold down and drag to delete multiple vertices. elete selected vertices. nter a radius for an existing arc segment. By default, if you have a vertex and a Bézier control point under the dit tool pointer when you click and drag, the vertex will be moved. Hold down CTL to move the Bézier control point instead. ressing CTL when dragging a Bézier handle will

If you have two adjacent Bézier curves, it will only modify one curve when you move the control point. Feature Construction toolbar Move the toolbar away from the sketch. When the toolbar is disabled on the diting Options dialog box, shows and hides the toolbar temporarily. + Feature Construction toolbar keyboard shortcuts Hide the toolbar temporarily. dit Vertices toolbar + dit Vertices toolbar keyboard shortcuts Hide the toolbar temporarily.

Use to draw the ellipse from an endpoint instead. This enters a mode where all the ellipses will be drawn from an endpoint. ress again to exit this mode and create ellipses from a center point. nter x,y coordinates for the center (or end) point of the radius.

Find Text: opulate the text box on the nnotation Construction window with a string based on the label expression of the layer containing the topmost visible feature at the pointer's location. With feature-linked annotation, the text is derived only from a feature in the origin feature class. If there are multiple features underneath the pointer, press the N key to cycle through the possible text strings. Open Follow Feature Options dialog box when creating new annotation in follow feature mode. Flip selected annotation features 180 degrees when creating new annotation in follow feature mode.
