Adding a New Branch to

a Highway

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

Procedure

  1. Press Space Bar and enter Highway.

  2. Position the mouse cursor over the existing highway point where you want to place the first end of the new branch.

  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 branch and double-click. Note again that if you place it on an existing highway, a connection is made automatically and all connected segments become part of the other 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 branch connects the highway to another highway, all connected segments become part of the other highway.
