between the points.

Label Tools
Move Label
When User-Defined is selected on the Label Placement tab when editing Layer Options, this option will
become active. When selected it allows the user to drag labels to any location on a map. To use, click on
an object on the active layer that you want to move a label for and hold the mouse button down. The
cursor will jump to the label location. Keep the mouse button held down and move the label to the desired
location and then release the mouse button. Any label adjustments made from the map toolbar will not be
saved after the map is closed. Only label changes made in an editor can be saved.
Label Settings
Allows the user to set various parameters for the display of labels for each object in a layer when User-
Defined has been selected as the Label Placement type. Click on an object in the active layer to edit its
label properties. Any label adjustments made from the map toolbar will not be saved after the map is
closed. Only label changes made in an editor can be saved.
Rotate Map (ADVANCED)
Allows the user to rotate the 3D view about the X, Y, and Z axis.
Hide/Show 3D View (ADVANCED)
Allows the user to toggle between displaying the current map in 2D or 3D view.
Reset Map Rotation (ADVANCED)
Allows the user to reset the orientation and zoom level of the current 3D view to the default orientation.
Dataset Playback (ADVANCED)
Opens the Dataset Playback viewer which allows you to replay a logged field operation such as harvest or planting.
You can control the speed at which the data plays as well as transparency, legend, etc. Multiple vehicles can also be
played at the same time, such as if you harvest a field with two combines equipped with yield monitors and GPS.
This playback tool only works with data that contains swath width and date/time data, which is required to play the
data back based on time. The playback also displays a real-time summary of the data as you play it, displaying the
instantaneous value of the points as they are mapped as well as a running average and total for the data.
Internet Based Background
Allows the user to select which internet based background they would like displayed in their map, if any. You can
select None, Aerial, Road Map, or a combination of aerial and road map. These backgrounds are not saved in the
management tree or anywhere else in the software, they are temporary in nature and downloaded dynamically.
Set Background
Allows the user to select a background(s) to be viewed on the active map.
Map Options
Allows the user to edit the map options for the active map.
Select Type
Select Objects
When this selection type is selected, entire objects are selected when using one of the selection tools. For
example if Select Polygon is selected and you draw a selection that crosses the edge of a polygon, the
whole polygon will be selected not just the intersected area.
Select Intersections
When this selection type is selected, only the intersected area of an object is selected. For example if the
Select Polygon tool is selected and a region is drawn across a quarter of a line segment, then only that
length of the line that fell in the selection area will be selected.
Select Tools
Select Point
Allows the user to select an individual spatial point.
