Adding Pivots, Acre Square or Homesites (For Oklahoma counties, this isn’t necessary.)

When editing Land Use, MapAnalyzer allows the user to add pivots for cultivated land, and an acre square or circle for homesites, or add by keyboard.

SELECT Land Use in the Map Legend,
RIGHT-CLICK and select edit layer.

Pivot Example:

In Edit mode:
SELECT on the Toolbar
RIGHT-CLICK in the center of the pivot
SELECT Add Shape, Pivot.

A red mark will appear in the center of the pivot.

CLICK on the outer edge of the pivot to drop the first point.
CLICK TWICE To make a full circle

User can create a pivot of any size or fraction by dropping the second point on the outer edge in a clockwise direction.

When the user has drawn the pivot:
CLICK on the tool bar.

An attributes table will appear.
SELECT the USECODE for the pivot
CLICK save.

To add an acre square or acre circle repeat the steps above.
