Editing of Lines is following the same principles as shown above for Danger Highlight areas.
In the selection list under Display, User Sym
open the list of available lines by a click on the (+)
symbol.
Select if you want to create an Own Safety Line,
a User’s Feature line or a Clearing Line by a click
on the entry in the selection list.
An Own Safety Line is a line with orange colour and with short hachure lines pointing to the dangerous
side. It can be monitored by the ECDIS’ chart monitoring and the route monitoring functions. You can
create several safety lines at different locations each having a variable number of vertex points, but a
defined start and a defined end.
Click on the Own Safety Line icon first, and then
click with DO in the PPI/Chart Area to set the first
vertex of the line. The moving cursor is then
followed by a connection line to the previously set
graphical point of the line. In this way a line with
2 vertex points as a minimum can be set. There is
no limitation for the number of points which can be
created.
To end the line after the last vertex is set, click
into the last connection line with MORE to end the
edit mode and to complete the created line.
The orientation of the own Safety Line (the
dangerous / not dangerous side) can be changed
by a click on Reverse Own Safety Line
User’s Feature Line
Several line styles with 4 different patterns (solid /
dashed / dotted / dashed-dotted) and 1 or 2 pixels
line width can be created and drawn on the elec-
tronic chart. In contrast to the Own Safety Line the
User’s Feature Line cannot be monitored by the
ECDIS’ chart monitoring and route monitoring func-
tions.
Removing and modification of existing Safety and
Feature Lines is done in the same way as shown
above for Areas via selection of the line on the
screen and subsequent operation via the context
menu by a MORE click on the selected line. You can choose to delete one single point or the complete
line.
