Rotating the stipple element

There may be situations when the stipple element angle should be something other than the default 16° angle to the nearest top point of the runway element. The stipple element can be rotated to change the default angle on a chart-by-chart basis.

Steps:
  1. Start ArcMap.
  2. On the main menu, click View > Layout View.
  3. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Aeronautical Terminal Procedures.
  4. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Draw.
  5. Click the Edit Instrument Approach Profile button Edit Instrument Approach Profile on the Aeronautical Terminal Procedures toolbar.
  6. Select the stipple element.
  7. Click the Rotate button Rotate on the Draw toolbar.
  8. Pause the Rotate tool over the X located in the center of the stipple element.
