To Snap the Central Shape Point of an Arc to Another Object
Use the following steps to snap the central shape point of the arc to another object.
1. Click the Draw tab.
2. Click the Select tool
and then click the arc on the map.
A box displays around the active object. Shape points display as small,
magenta squares.

arc line over a point on the draw object until the snap point (the yellow
diamond) displays.
4. Release the arc. It is snapped to the other object's point coordinate.
Adding Points to Draw Objects
You can add points to routable road, trail, line, spline, and polygon draw objects to
change the shape of the object.
Note Routable roads require a routable DeLorme dataset. Routable trails require a
topographic DeLorme dataset. For information, visit www.delorme.com or call
DeLorme Direct Sales at 800-561-5105.
