Trace Properties (Vertices)

To display this screen:

  • In the Sheets or Project Data control bar, right click a string trace and select Properties.

Adjust a string trace by inserting or deleting vertices into any position.

The current string length is displayed, and is adjusted as vertices are added or removed.

To insert a new vertex into a trace:

  1. Display the Trace Properties screen, Vertices tab.

  2. Select either the vertex before or after the position at which you will insert a vertex.

  3. Enter X, Y and Z coordinates of the new vertex, using Edit controls.

  4. To insert the new vertex above the selected vertex, click the upward facing arrow. To insert the vertex below the selection, choose the downward facing arrow.

  5. Click OK or Apply.

To delete a vertex from a trace:

There are two ways to do this:

  • Double-click an existing vertex record to remove it.

  • Select a vertex and click X.

In either case, click OK or Apply to update the trace.
