How it works
Some tool functions are only available in expert mode
This option creates a map from saved AB points. AB points correspond to row entries and exits.
The option is only available when at least one map is loaded into the application.
Application
When this option is activated, a dialog window opens, allowing you to group points on the selected maps.
Once the points have been grouped, a step allows you to select whether the AB is to be used automatically or manually.
AB automatic
The option is performed in several steps:
Selection of A points, i.e. all points on one side of the plot, using a polygonal selection.
Selection of B points, i.e. all points on the opposite side of the plot, using polygonal selection.
Selection of the 1st row by selecting an A point and then a B point from the previously created groups.
Once these steps have been completed, the map made up of the selected points is created as follows:
Creation of the 1st row
Selection of point A (belonging to group A) closest to point A of the last row created
Same for point B
Creation of the new row using these points.
AB manual
The option is used simply by selecting a point, then a second point. The selected points will be converted into a row of 2 points.
Once the row has been created, the option restarts at step 4.
The keyboard shortcut Ctrl + B also starts the tool.
