Relating elements in a profile view
The Relate Elements tool allows you to connect nodes, verticals, procedure legs, and text to each other inside a profile view. This allows you to create a new flight path, then relate it to an existing node, connecting the two so that when the node is moved, the endpoint of the flight path moves as well. It is also possible to relate text to profile elements. For example, if new bearing text is added, that text can be related to its associated flight path. Creating this relationship constrains the movement of the text to that particular flight path. You can also merge distance values that are next to each other in the tray element.
