Drawing Routable Roads on the Map
The Routable Road tool allows you to add a new road to a draw layer in the current map
file. You can then incorporate any new roads you add to a route when you
create a route
.
You must be at data zoom level 11-0 or greater when adding roads with the Routable Road
tool.
To Draw Routable Roads
Use the following steps to add routable roads to a road layer.
1.
Click the Draw tab.
2.
Click the Routable Road tool
.
3.
Type the name of the road you want to add in the Road Name text box.
Name each routable road you add so you can locate it using the find feature.
4.
Hover the mouse pointer over existing roads to display the yellow diamond symbol
. The yellow diamond symbol indicates where on an existing road the point for your
new road will connect (connection point).
Notes
•
The new road must connect to an existing non-limited access road for routing
to occur on the new road.
•
Each time you intersect an existing road, hover the mouse over the road to
display the yellow diamond symbol and click to create a connection point
before continuing to draw. If you draw the line over the road without
creating a connection point, routing cannot occur along the intersection.
5.
Once you locate the connection point for your new road, click the map to place the
first point. Click point-to-point or drag to add the new road to the draw layer.
The following information is available as you add each point in your road:
•
The coordinates of each point display in the corresponding text boxes.
•
The distance and bearing/angle of each new point from its previous point
display in the corresponding text boxes.
6.
To finish the line draw for the new road, enter the last point on the map screen and
click Done.
The new road displays on the map with the name you typed in the Road Name text
box.
You can also finish the line draw by pressing the ENTER key on your keyboard or
double-clicking while entering the last point of the line.
Drawing a Line, Arc, or Spline on the Map
You can add lines, arcs, and splines to a draw file and adjust their line style, color, width,
and display them with map line features.
•
Use lines to mark boundaries or to add railroads or utility lines. You can draw lines
with varied line styles, weights, and colors, including lines that reflect actual map
line types.
•
Use arcs to add curved line features to a draw file. You can draw arcs with varied
line styles, weights, and colors, including lines that reflect actual map line types.
Note An arc is created by entering only three points on the map. The first and
second points determine the distance of the first arc base from the last arc base. The
