<br>
</span>Unfortunately it's not possible yet. IMHO this is a good feature request<br>
in oder to improve the usability of the view navigation tools.<br>

</span>True, this is a bug.<br>

<br>
</span>It's possible for Unique symbols, but for more complex legend types (e.g.<br>
categorical ones) you have to modify them one by one and, I'm agree with<br>
you, it's very time consuming. In the past I wrote a Jython script in<br>
order to add this capability to gvSIG 1.12 and, when I'll have a free<br>
slot of time, I'll try to adapt it to gvSIG 2.1.<br>

<br>
</span>It's possible to show the geometry as WKT directly in the Info tool.<br>
For instance, point geometries are shown as WKT by default.<br>
Instead, in order to show the WKT of more complex geometries like lines<br>
or polygons, you should right click on the GEOMETRY textbox in the Info<br>
window and then choose the "Hide/show geometry as WKT" option.<br>
Finally, area and length are not shown in the Info window... And it<br>
sounds like a useful feature request.<br>
<span class=""><br>
> 5. how does the snap work exactly? what does it mean exactly the snap<br>
> tolerance?<br>
<br>
</span>It should work as usual... Start editing, right click on the layer in<br>
the ToC and choose the "Editing properties" option, define the snap<br>
tolerance, select the reference layers to use for snapping, activate the<br>
reference to object in the Snapping options (active by default) and<br>
finally choose the snapping types (i.e. final point, nearest point, etc.).<br>
Then you can edit your layer with snapping.<br>
<span class=""><br>
> 6. are shortcuts available in gvSIG?<br>
<br>
</span>Shortcuts are more or less available and working in gvSIG.<br>
For instance, you can see some of them in File and Show menus.<br>
<br>
If you want, you can open some tickets (bugs or feature requests) in the<br>
gvSIG desktop bug tracker [1] in order to share your useful suggestions<br>
in a better place. Thank you very much! :)<br>
<br>
ciao<br>
Antonio<br>
