Open the ID form with the "i" button on the toolbar:

The "Show Object Ids" form is displayed:

When the ID form is the active form (the title bar is highlighted), when you click on the drawing, the ID of the object you click is displayed:

Note that if the location you click is in more than one object (in this example, the county, and the coverage contour), all of the object IDs are listed:

This form has several different functions, depending on the configuration you select on the form.

In the "Double-Click List to:" section of the form, you have the option to select what action will take place when you double-click an item in the list:

• Add label for object to drawing: This option will read enable you to position a text label with the ID (such as "Arapahoe") on the drawing. For example, if you want to add a label to Arapahoe county, select the "Add label…" option, then double-click the line that says "Arapahoe" in the list.

You will be prompted for the label location. (You can later move the location, or change the color or text size with the "T" text button.)

The label will be added, centered on the location you click.

• Toggle selection of object: This option will toggle the selection of the object in the list (selected object will be de-selected, a de-selected object will be selected). For example, if you want to select the coverage contour but not the county, select the "Toggle selection…" option, then double click the line that says "LR CTR…".

The contour will be selected:

After you have selected object(s) on the drawing, the selected items can be modified in the "Modify selected Objects on Drawing" section of the ID form:

• The Properties button enables you to change the color, line width, and fill of polygon objects on the drawing, or the color and line width of line objects on the drawing.

When the Properties button is clicked, the "Select Fill and Color" form is displayed. This form has two tabs for the properties as shown:

For example, you can select a new color and line width. When you close the form, the new properties are applied to the selected object(s) on the drawing.

• The Delete button will delete the selected object(s) from the drawing.

• Clear on New: If this box is checked, the text area of the form will be cleared, so only the object(s) clicked on will be listed. If the box is not checked, clicking at different locations on the graphic will continue to add the items to the list.
• Select on Click; If this box is checked, the object on the drawing will be selected immediately when you click. This may be convenient, but note that this means that multiple objects may be selected. For example, if the box is checked and you click as described above, both the county and the coverage contour would be selected. If the box is not checked, the object(s) will be listed, and may be selected by double-clicking the list as described above.
