I want to map some areas for the footpaths, tracks and bridleways on the local common. That's the relatively easy bit. The land is a mix of overlapping areas (Common Land, Open Access Land, Private Land with Permissive Access, Woodland, Heathland, Farm Land). Some of these areas are also designated Nature Reserve.
Is it possible to show overall boundaries (fences, walls, other physical boundaries) but differentiate within them between different types of land? Further, is it possible to designate the different parcels of land as belonging to a common entity; i.e.; "XYZ Common" and show that on the map? Finally is is possible to show which parts of the land have been designated "Nature Reserve". When I try to do this, the last area added blots out previous areas laid down. Are there transparent layers, tints, that can be used? What's the best approach? Thanks, Ric
