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.

Étapes :
  1. Start ArcMap.
    ConseilConseil :

    If the ArcMap - Getting Started dialog box appears, you can open a new or existing map document. You can also check the Do not show this dialog box in the future check box and click Open.

  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.
    ConseilConseil :

    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 choose Properties to edit the font, position, size, and symbol of the element.

    Most text elements can be edited inside this dialog box.

    ConseilConseil :

    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.
  10. To flip a holding pattern element from one side to another, such as a curved holding pattern, perform the substeps below:
    1. Click the blue anchor point in the center of the element (the purple anchor points are not selectable) or an endpoint.
    2. Drag the anchor or endpoint horizontally to the opposite side.

      For example, drag the holding pattern to the opposite side of the vertical line.

  11. To add new text to a tray value element, perform the substeps below:
    1. Click the New Text button Nouveau texte on the Aeronautical Profile Edit toolbar.
    2. Click the tray element.
    3. Type the text in the text box.
      ConseilConseil :

      Click the Edit Instrument Approach Profile button Edit Instrument Approach Profile on the Aeronautical Terminal Procedures toolbar and move the text to the location you want.

  12. To change a flight path into a curved flight path, perform the substeps below:
    1. Click a flight path in the profile view to select it.
    2. Right-click the flight path and choose Create Curved Flight Path.
    3. Click the vertices of the selected flight path and drag the vertices to edit the curve.
  13. To create a straight flight path from a curved flight path, perform the substeps below:
    1. Click to select the curved flight.
    2. Right-click the selected flight path and choose Create Straight Flight Path.
    3. Click the vertices of the selected flight path and drag the vertices to edit it.
  14. To insert a vertex on a flight path, perform the substeps below:
    1. Click a flight path.
    2. Click the Edit Vertices button Modifier les sommets on the Aeronautical Profile Edit toolbar.
    3. Right-click the selected flight path and choose Add Vertex.
    4. Click the Edit Instrument Approach Profile button Edit Instrument Approach Profile on the Aeronautical Terminal Procedures toolbar.
    5. Click and drag the vertex to modify the flight path.
