====== Orbit Vector File ======

An Orbit Vector File (*.ovf) is Orbit's native vector file storage format. \\
An OVF stores spatial objects (geometry) and attribute information. 

=== Structure ===

An Orbit Vector File has extended data structure capabilities compared to an Esri Shape file : [[112:technologies:basic_concepts:dataset_structure|]]. \\
It is a single file grouping both spatial and attribute component. 

=== Reasons to use ===

The OVF is optimized for fast editing of vector data in Orbit. The format is platform independent and as it a single file it simplifies data management.

=== Create and Update ===

  * Create or Open, see [[112:orbit_desktop:datasetlist:index|]]
  * Edit geometry, see [[112:orbit_desktop:tools:editing:overview|]]
  * Edit attributes, see [[112:orbit_desktop:inspector:object:index|]]
