Hi. I would like to say "Thank You" for taking the time to make this video. I have not watched it all (as yet) but I will. What I have watched has been great. I needed to know how to digitize a line layer and this provided me with the information and I was able to create both a line layer and a point layer also. Thanks again - appreciated :-) Harry Buckley
