Modifying Line Features

The More option is a pop-up menu that gives access to further tools that allow you to modify line features.  The pop-up menu is shown below.

The Replace option allows you to replace a line feature with another of regular spacing.  A dialog asking you to enter the start chainage and a chainage interval will be displayed and a new feature will be calculated from the existing feature using these parameters.

The Rotate option allows you to rotate a line feature about an indicated point.   You will be asked to enter the angle of rotation.

The Commit option will create a CAD copy of a line feature in the models dedicated CAD backcloth.  Simply indicate which feature to commit. The original line feature will not be modified in any way and the use of this function is to enable CAD constructions outside the scope of the feature editing tools.

The Insert option allows you to insert one feature into a segment of another feature.  You will be asked to indicate the segment where the insert is to take place and then the feature to insert. The direction of the inserted feature will not be changed, and the combined feature will take the code from the first feature.

Before Insert	After Insert	Before Split	After Split

The Split option allows you to break a line feature into two by duplicating a given point on the feature.  You will be asked to indicate the point where the split is to take place. This point will then be duplicated, and the new point will be inserted into the feature after the original. The new point will then have the new comma code added to it, again creating two features of the same code. If you wish to change the code of one of the features, you can do that using the recode option described earlier. Note that you cannot split a closed feature.

The Offset option allows you to move a line feature to a parallel location.  You will be asked to indicate the line feature to offset, the side to which the line feature is to be relocated and enter the offset
