The following graphic illustrates adding a polygon .. the blue triangle .. to a new layer.
When the ShapeEditor form is closed, the new layer/shapefile may be optionally saved to a new shapefile name.
A GIS project must be open to use AddShapes. For illustration purposes, open the c:\cvxe\1\cvxe_us2.gis project. Navigate to a view similar to the one shown below. Click the Select Mode mouse tool as shown in the graphic. Other navigation mouse tools may be selected during the process of adding shapes but it is important that the mouse be in Select Mode when clicking points on the map window.
