To use grips to edit a sample line
- In the drawing, click the sample line you want to edit.
The sample line displays grip edit locations at each vertex.
- Use the diamond-shaped center grip to move the sample line to a new location along the alignment.
The sample line slides to the new location while maintaining its relative geometry. As the sample line moves, it reorients to the underlying entity (for example, spiral, curve, or other tangents). It always remains perpendicular to the alignment.
- Use the square-shaped end grips to stretch (lengthen or shorten), move, or rotate segments.
- Use the triangular-shaped grips at the ends of segments to stretch (lengthen or shorten) each segment while keeping its relative direction.
- Press Esc or enter eXit to complete the procedure.
