This tool allows you to make changes in the coordinates of vertices on all polyline types. Upon execution you will be asked to select a polyline to edit. Upon selection a temporary marker will be placed at all of the vertices of the polyline, making them easy to distinguish. Then pick near the vertex you wish to edit, and the following dialog appears.
At the top of the dialog it identifies the type of polyline, being 2D or 3D. In the case of 2D polylines it allows you convert the polyline. You have the ability to type in new northing, easting or elevation values. You can also determine the 3D coordinate position by using distances and slope to/from adjacent points. As you change the values in the dialog, new values for derivatives are being calculated. For example if you change the horizontal distances, the coordinates will change.
