PC*Miler Rail
ROUTE MAP
PC*MILER|Rail’s Route Map displays and prints the different
routes, railroads and locations in multiple colors and line
widths. The detailed map enables you to examine routes in
detail, visually evaluate routing alternatives, and perform
a variety of "what-if" analyses. To view all available
routes simultaneously from the AutoRouter, click on the Show
All button. This will automatically bring the map to the
front.
Commands in the Map menu enable you to
zoom in and out of the map display, frame routes in the
window, and control such things as the level of detail and
the number of routes, rail lines, place names and legends
shown on the map. In addition to displaying the generated
routes, the map displays U.S., Canadian, and Mexican
political boundaries, state boundaries, city names, and
railroads. The Map Features dialog box (shown below) enables
you to customize the appearance of the map. You can control
which features are drawn and the order in which they are
drawn.
In the Map Features dialog box, a
checkmark denotes items that will be displayed. To remove
the checkmark, highlight the feature in the list that you do
not want to display and click on the Hide button. The Show
All and Hide All buttons can be used to select or remove all
of the checkmarks. Clicking the Reset button restores the
default settings.
The order (from bottom to top) in which
the features appear in the dialog box determines the order
in which they are drawn: items on the bottom of the list are
drawn under the ones at the top. The Raise, Lower, To Top,
and To Bottom buttons can be used to manipulate the list.
