Jul-10-01, 12:04 PM (EST) "Path Editor?" I assume that after I have set up a path and want to change it I should use the path editor. Don't quite understand what the bottom part of the editor means. "Highlight" "prev" "next" "Broken" and "Mouse" mean. For any help on what these mean I would be greatful! Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Jul-10-01, 07:50 PM (EST) 2. "RE: Path Editor?" Hi Pirate,The Path is really make up of small "connections" between the "Start" point and all switch points to the "Stop" point. If you select "Highlight", the screen will center on the "Start" point and the Path will be displayed in red to the next switch point. As you select "..next", the next section of the Path will center on screen and be displayed in red. You can repeat this to trace all the connections associated with a Path.This is very useful when you've developed a complex path with several "Reverse Direction" points by allowing you to trace out the completed Path.As far as "Broken" and "Mouse", I'm still working on trying to figure those out myself.Hope the other info is useful, though.Oh, one very important tip (if you haven't discovered this already). You should avoid using "EDIT" whenever you are experimenting with Services, Consists, and Paths. I suggest you create "New" ones or use the "Use as Template" option and give them an easy to identify name. Keep in mind that if you "EDIT" anything for the default items (services, consists, etc) you may affect other activities that are also using the same service, consist, paths, etc.). I've noticed this happening, especially to consists.Good Luck ... dds Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
