Edit the line table

Group lines:

If several lines are to be allocated the same function (e.g. several shape lines represent narrowing), then it is advisable to group these lines. As a result, allocated properties automatically become active for all lines of the group.

  1. Only lines with the same display in the Function column can be grouped.
    1
    Select all lines of the group to be formed in the table.
    2
    Click on the button in the table toolbar.
  1. The Selection of reference line dialog box appears. In this dialog box the numbers of the selected lines are displayed.
    3
    In the table click on the line number from which the attributes are to be applied with the left mouse button.
    4
    Click on the OK button.
  1. The table is closed and the group is formed. Each group is allocated a consecutive number. This number is shown in the Group column. In the Function column now only the button of the first line of the group is available; all other lines are highlighted in blue and are no longer available. Changes to the function become effective for all lines of this group.

The group can be deactivated with the same button. To do this, select any line within the group.
