Editing a Routable Road, Routable Trail, Line, Arc, or Spline
Once you create a line object (routable road, routable trail, line, arc, or spline) you
can edit (including reshaping or changing line color or width), copy, move, or delete
it at any time.
Note Routable roads require a routable DeLorme dataset. Routable trails require a
topographic DeLorme dataset. For information, visit www.delorme.com or call
