"Features numbering" tool

This tool is provided for sequential numbering of selected features with the mouse click or automatic numbering.

 

The tool is recommended to be used after specifying parameters of showing attributes of the selected layer on the map (see Show attributes on map section).

 

The tool can be run only if the ArcMap editing session is on (see "Starting ArcMap editing session").

 

Run the tool to open the following modeless dialog, at that the tool becomes enabled:

 

 

The following parameters are specified in the tool dialog:

 

• the list of features, from where you will search those located under the mouse cursor;

• the attribute to store the assigned number;

• the source/current value for the numbering.

 

Having specified the above parameters, click the appropriate feature on the map to select it. Each time you click on the feature:

 

• from the selected features the tool searches those located under the mouse cursor (in case if there are several features located under the mouse cursor, the below operations are not performed);

• the current number is saved to the selected attribute of the found feature;

• the number specified in the dialog is scaled up by one unit.

 

 

If you want to number polygons automatically, press the Automatic numbering button. This method is recommended in case if the simple plots you are going to number have been made using the Automatic polygon features separation tool.
