In such cases, this command can be used as an alternative method for selecting such objects. It brings up a list of the objects currently in memory.

The Edit menu is one of the standard menus and is available in all of the modules. The commands in the Edit menu are used to select objects, delete objects, and set basic object and material attributes. The Edit menu contains the following commands:

  • Delete
Delete the object currently selected in the Graphics Window.
  • Select All
Selects all items associated with the current selection tool.
  • Unselect All
Unselects all items associated with the current selection tool.
  • Invert Selection
Selects the items that were not initially selected and are associated with the current selection tool.
  • Select With Poly
Used to enter a polygon enclosing the items to be selected (one of the selection tools must be active). This option is useful when selecting a large irregularly shaped group of objects. To enter the polygon, click on the polygon's starting point and each intermediate point defining the polygon and double-click on the ending point. All items within the polygon will be selected.
  • Select With Polyline
Selects the items that intersect a polyline associated with the current selection tool.
  • Select From List
Some of the objects in GMS (TINs, solids, cross sections, and scatter point sets) are selected by selecting an icon that appears on the object when the selection tool for the object is active. With a large number of objects, the display of the icons can become complicated and it may be difficult to select the desired object. In such cases, this command can be used as an alternative method for selecting such objects. It brings up a list of the objects currently in memory. An object is selected by checking the box next to it in the list and then hitting the OK button.
  • Locate Selections

Causes a rectangle to be drawn on screen and move to surround the location of the selected items, helping to see where they are.
  • Selection Window

When objects are selected, various information about the objects can be displayed or saved. The values are displayed by default in the Status Bar at the bottom of the GMS main window. However, since space along the bottom of the window is limited, the user has the option of displaying the information to a separate window and echoing the information into a file. The Selection Information dialog allows you to turn on and off the echo of the information to a file and to a separate, dockable window.
The Data Calculator can be used to perform mathematical operations with datasets to create new datasets.
  • Properties
This command brings up the Properties dialog for the currently selected item. This dialog varies depending on the selected item.
Brings up the Material Properties dialog.
  • Model Interfaces
Bring up a dialog containing all of the models, allowing the user to define which model menus are to be static in the menu bar.
Brings Units dialog which allows the user to adjust the units for the model.
The projection currently associated with the project can be specified via this command. Changing the projection does not alter the XYZ coordinates of the project data.
Reprojecting means to convert data from one coordinate system to another.
  • Single Point Reprojection...
This option can be used to view the coordinates of a point to be transformed.
This command is used to scale, rotate and translate the entire project. Clicking on this command will bring up the Transform dialog. Individual objects can be transformed by using the same command found in right-click context menus for the item in the Project Explorer.
Brings up the Preferences dialog where the user can adjust the general preferences for GMS.
  • Screen Capture...
Images in the Graphics Window can be copied to the Windows clipboard by selecting the Copy command from the Edit menu. Once on the clipboard, the image can be copied into other applications for report generation. If the user wants to copy an image that is larger or smaller than the graphics window this can be done by editing the copy scale factor in the Preferences dialog.
  • Paste Text
The Paste command in the Edit window allows the user to paste tabular data directly into GMS. When this command is executed the File Import Wizard is launched.

Obsolete Menu Items

The following commands have been removed from current versions of GMS:

Brings up the Coordinate System dialog which allows the user to adjust the current horizontal and vertical coordinate systems.
Brings up the Coordinate Transformation Wizard which allows the user to perform geographic system transformations, translations, rotations, and scaling.
