Looking for something specific in the page and not quite sure where to find it? You can always press CTRL + F on your keyboard and type a keyword. Or you can do a search (in the top right corner).
Creating field boundaries
To create a new boundary:
- Open an operational layer, aerial image, or management zone to use as a reference to create a boundary.
- Select the Create icon in the functional area.
- Select Boundary.
-
Note: Apex will auto-generate a boundary that encompasses the layer opened in Step 1. The boundary consists of a set of points (vertices) connected by a line. Each point (vertex) is numbered in a clock-wise pattern. You can change the boundary’s shape by clicking on a point and dragging it to a new location. You can delete points by double-clicking them and add new points by clicking on the boundary. You can also change the boundary name and colour that Apex creates.
-
Note: The zoom in/out, zoom to full extent, pan and arrow buttons can be used when creating/editing boundaries. Users may want to use the zoom tools to more easily see the points of the boundary.
- Select Done when you’re satisfied with the boundary, or select Cancel and start over.
