Editing profile view elements

Adjacent profile view elements are connected through nodes and lines. When lines and points intersect (as in the intersection of a flight path and a vertical), a node is present. When a node is selected, the node selection is of a higher priority than the corresponding line endpoint. When a node is selected, the selection envelope of the point is identified by the four small vertices of the selection envelope, as shown in the image below.

When a line is selected, the endpoints of the line are identified by the filled boxes at either end of the line, as shown in the image below.

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. Click the Edit Instrument Approach Profile button Edit Instrument Approach Profile on the Aeronautical Terminal Procedures toolbar.
  5. Select a profile element.
    TipTip:

    Select more than one element by pressing and holding the CTRL key on the keyboard, then selecting additional elements.

  6. Drag the element to move it.
  7. Drag a control handle to resize most elements.
  8. Right-click the element and click Properties to edit the font, position, size, and symbol of the element.

    Most text elements can be edited inside this dialog box.

    TipTip:

    If you make the font size too large for the existing tray (usually larger than a 6 pt. font size), you will need to increase the default tray element height in the profile settings.

  9. Double-click any text element to access the text editor.
    TipTip:

    You can also modify the text in missed approach boxes.
