2D Route Graphics

2D Route graphics for vehicles allow you to define the graphical display of ship, aircraft, and ground vehicle routes in the 2D Graphics window.

If the waypoints added on a vehicle's Basic Route Properties page are not displayed on the 2D Route Graphics properties page, clicking OK to close the properties browser and then reopening it for the vehicle will cause the waypoints to be displayed on the 2D Route Graphics properties page.
