Line Target Properties

Line Target Path

This panel lets you define the points of the line target.

Points

The points table displays a summary of the latitude and longitude values for each point, and indicates which point is currently defined as the anchor point. You can add, change or delete points, and define the anchor point as follows.

Add Points

  1. Click Add beside the Points table to add a line of data representing a path point.
  2. Edit the Latitude and Longitude values for each point by double-clicking the appropriate field in the table and entering the desired value in the field. The anchor point field cannot be defined or edited in this manner.
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to define each point along the path of the line target.
  4. Click OK or Apply to save your changes.

  2. Enter the new latitude or longitude values.
  3. Click OK or Apply to save your changes.

Remove Points

  1. Click Remove All to remove all points in the table, or select the line of data representing the path point that you want to remove and click Remove.
  2. Click OK or Apply to save your changes.
