To edit nodes on a boundary
1 At the Command prompt, enter
mapmpedit (page 1818).
2 Select the polygon to edit.
3 Enter e.
4 Click a boundary object to edit.
5 Click the node to edit.
TIP Press the Spacebar to move to the next node.
Enter r to remove the node, m to move the node, or i to insert a new
node.
You can not modify the boundary in a way that would make it cross
another boundary in the polygon. For example, you cannot delete a node
if that would make the current boundary cross an inner boundary.
6 When you finish editing nodes, press x to exit node-editing mode.
To change the boundary type
1 At the Command prompt, enter
mapmpedit (page 1818).
2 Select the polygon to edit.
3 Enter b.
4 Click the boundary object for which you want to change the type.
5 Enter o, i, or a (Outer/Inner/Annotation).
Annotation boundaries behave the same as inner boundaries, but have
no effect on area calculations.
To rebalance the polygon object
1 At the Command prompt, enter mapmpedit (page 1818).
2 Select the polygon to edit.
3 Enter r.
The Rebalance option recalculates the polygon tree and reassigns the
Inner/Outer property of all the boundaries based on their nesting level.
