Edit Polyline Vertex

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. You must then pick near the vertex you wish to edit. The following dialog appears.

At the top of the dialog it identifies the type of polyline as 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.

Prompts

Select polyline to edit: pick a polyline
Pick point on polyline to edit: pick a point to be modified
Edit Polyline Vertex dialog click "Pick Position"
Pick vertex position: pick a new location for the vertex
Edit Polyline Vertex dialog click OK
Make changes as needed. You will see the polyline vertices relocated based upon the new picked positions and coordinate changes. Use Previous and Next to move along the polyline. Note the dialog values changing.
