Adding a Highway

This topic details how to add (create) a new highway in a diagram.

Procedure

1. Press Space Bar and enter Highway.

2. Position the mouse cursor over the grid point where you want to place the first end of the highway. Note that if you place it on an existing highway, a connection is made automatically and the added segments become part of the existing highway.

3. Click and drag the mouse cursor to define highway segments.Note You can define segments in a highway by dragging the line, clicking once, and dragging the line in a new direction.

4. Position the mouse cursor over the grid point where you want to place the other end of the highway and double-click. Note again that if you place it on an existing highway, a connection is made automatically and the added segments become part of the existing highway.

Results

• If the highway is not attached to an existing highway, a new highway is added to the Design Browser Window.

• If the new highways segments are attached to an existing highway, they become part of the existing highway. No new highway is created.
