To Create a New Feature from Existing Geometry

You can create features using drawing object geometry.

To create a new feature from geometry

1. In the Display Manager , right-click the layer to which you want to add the feature. Click New Feature from Geometry.
2. When prompted, select the object or objects to convert to features. Press Enter.

   All selected objects are converted into a single feature. To create multiple features, perform this operation on one object at a time.

3. When prompted to erase the drawing object, do one of the following:
