Close Command

The Close command turns a linear route, track, or shape into a closed object. If you are surveying a property or marking the perimeter of a field, you can use the Close command to automatically connect the final point in your survey back to the point at which you started.

To close a route, track or shape, do the following:

1. View a map, or a Route, Track or Shape List.
2. Select one or more routes, tracks or shapes.
3. Then, do one of the following:
   • On the Tools menu, click Close.
   • Right-click on the selected items, and click Close.

Tip

• If you edit a route, track, or shape, and select a Type that uses a Fill pattern, ExpertGPS will automatically close the item.
