A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to manipulate a drawing surface in a CAD/GIS computer application. A drawing surface is displayed in a CAD/GIS application followed by the performance of a surface edit operation on the drawing surface. The surface edit operation is stored/saved as an atomic property in a list of surface edit operations. The list of surface edit operations is displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI). Each surface edit operation may be independently toggled on/off in the GUI and such toggling is reflected in the CAD/GIS application by displaying an effect of executing the surface edit operation if toggled on and displaying the drawing surface without execution of the surface edit operation if toggled off.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for manipulating a drawing surface in a CAD/GIS computer application, comprising: displaying a triangulated irregular network (TIN) drawing surface in a CAD/GIS application; performing a surface edit operation on the TIN drawing surface, wherein the surface edit operation modifies a property of the TIN drawing surface; persistently storing, in persistent storage, the surface edit operation as an atomic property in a list of surface edit operations; persistently storing, in persistent storage, the list of surface edit operations; and displaying the list of surface edit operations in a graphical user interface, wherein each surface edit operation may be independently toggled on/off in the graphical user interface and such toggling is reflected in the CAD/GIS application by displaying an effect of executing the surface edit operation if toggled on and displaying the TIN drawing surface without execution of the surface edit operation if toggled off, and wherein the surface edit operation is displayed in the list and maintained in persistent storage both when the surface edit operation is toggled on and when the surface edit operation is toggled off. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the toggling is reflected in the CAD/GIS application by dynamically and automatically updating the drawing surface. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the list of surface edit operations are sorted sequentially in an order in which each surface edit operation is performed. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising removing the surface edit operation from the list of surface edit operations wherein such removal causes the surface edit operation to be permanently removed from the drawing surface. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein if the surface edit operation is toggled off, the drawing surface maintains a reference to the surface edit operation. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein a surface edit operations in the list may be toggled on/off by group by surface data type. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein a graphical icon adjacent to a surface edit operation in the list identifies a status of the surface edit operation. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the persistent storage comprises a hard disk. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising toggling multiple different surface edit operations on/off independently from each other while remaining simultaneously displayed in the list of surface edit operations. 10. An apparatus for manipulating a drawing surface in a CAD/GIS computer application comprising: (a) a computer system having a memory and a persistent data storage device coupled thereto; and (b) a GIS/CAD application executing on the computer, wherein the application is configured to: (i) display a triangulated irregular network (TIN) drawing surface in a CAD/GIS application; (ii) perform a surface edit operation on the TIN drawing surface, wherein the surface edit operation modifies a property of the TIN drawing surface; (iii) persistently store, in the persistent data storage device, the surface edit operation as an atomic property in a list of surface edit operations; (iv) persistently store, in the persistent data storage device, the list of surface edit operations; and (iv) display the list of surface edit operations in a graphical user interface, wherein each surface edit operation may be independently toggled on/off in the graphical user interface and such toggling is reflected in the CAD/GIS application by displaying an effect of executing the surface edit operation if toggled on and displaying the TIN drawing surface without execution of the surface edit operation if toggled off and wherein the surface edit operation is displayed in the list and maintained in the persistent data storage device both when the surface edit operation is toggled on and when the surface edit operation is toggled off. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein application is configured to reflect the toggling by dynamically and automatically updating the drawing surface. 12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the list of surface edit operations are sorted sequentially in an order in which each surface edit operation is performed. 13. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the application is further configured to remove the surface edit operation from the list of surface edit operations wherein such removal causes the surface edit operation to be permanently removed from the drawing surface. 14. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein if the surface edit operation is toggled off, the drawing surface maintains a reference to the surface edit operation. 15. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein a surface edit operations in the list may be toggled on/off by group by surface data type. 16. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein a graphical icon adjacent to a surface edit operation in the list identifies a status of the surface edit operation. 17. An article of manufacture comprising a program storage medium readable by a computer and embodying one or more instructions executable by the computer to perform a method for manipulating a drawing surface in an GIS/CAD computer system, the method comprising: displaying a triangulated irregular network (TIN) drawing surface in a CAD/GIS application; performing a surface edit operation on the TIN drawing surface, wherein the surface edit operation modifies a property of the TIN drawing surface; persistently storing, in persistent storage, the surface edit operation as an atomic property in a list of surface edit operations; persistently storing, in persistent storage, the list of surface edit operations: and displaying the list of surface edit operations in a graphical user interface, wherein each surface edit operation may be independently toggled on/off in the graphical user interface and such toggling is reflected in the CAD/GIS application by displaying an effect of executing the surface edit operation if toggled on and displaying the TIN drawing surface without execution of the surface edit operation if toggled off, and wherein the surface edit operation is displayed in the list and maintained in persistent storage both when the surface edit operation is toggled on and when the surface edit operation is toggled off. 18. The article of manufacture of 17, wherein the toggling is reflected in the CAD/GIS application by dynamically and automatically updating the drawing surface. 19. The article of manufacture of claim 17, wherein the list of surface edit operations are sorted sequentially in an order in which each surface edit operation is performed. 20. The article of manufacture of claim 17, wherein the method further comprises removing the surface edit operation from the list of surface edit operations wherein such removal causes the surface edit operation to be permanently removed from the drawing surface. 21. The article of manufacture of claim 17, wherein if the surface edit operation is toggled off, the drawing surface maintains a reference to the surface edit operation. 22. The article of manufacture of claim 17, wherein a surface edit operations in the list may be toggled on/off by group by surface data type. 23. The article of manufacture of claim 17, wherein a graphical icon adjacent to a surface edit operation in the list identifies a status of the surface edit operation.
