Thanks Jason. I am still slightly worried that I may have caused a problem. To add detail to the coast I deleted a whole section and redrew it. This seemed easer than adding points to an existing coast and then moving them. Later I seemed to have problems when I tried to delete more of the coastline. This coastline viewer map does not show my edits over the last few days so I don't know if I accidentally left a hole in Manhattan.
If you join two line segments that share both endpoints to form a closed shape do both ends get joined? I was a little worried that only one end would be joined leaving an undetectable break in the shape. -Joe On Feb 10, 2008, at 10:13 PM, Jason Reid wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> I have been working mostly on Manhattan's West Side Highway.
