    The Feature Properties button is enabled once a feature is selected.
  2. Tap the Feature Properties button—or double-tap the feature—to open the Feature Properties dialog box.

    The Geography page includes a table that lists each vertex and its x, y, and z coordinates. Vertex number 0 is the head. The last vertex in the table is the tail.

    Tip
    Displaying the Geography page: The Geography page can be used to move a vertex to a specific x,y,z coordinate. The layer that you are editing may have an associated custom edit form. If it does, the Feature Properties dialog box will have additional tabs displayed to the left of the Attributes tab and left and right arrow buttons for navigating between the tabs. Tap the right arrow button until the Geography tab is displayed. The Geography tab is always the last tab displayed.

    The custom edit form may hide the Attributes or Geography pages of the Feature Properties dialog box. If this is the case, then you will need to use the Move To tool to move the vertex.

    Tip
    Resizing the columns in the Geography page: You can resize the columns in the Geography page by tapping and dragging the vertical column separator.
  4. Double-tap the vertex coordinate that you want to change.
