You can create a new reporting point anywhere along your traverse. It is not necessary for reporting points to be in between L-line points. The technique used to create reporting points is very similar to creating L-line points.
To create a new report point:
1. Activate the window in which you want to work (Plan or Profile). When the window is activated, it will be on top of the other windows and its title bar will be highlighted.
2. If you are already in Add Reporting Points Mode your cursor will appear as a pencil with a "?"and you can skip step 3.
3. Select Home | Tool Selection | Add/Edit Report Pt. Tool or click on the Add/Edit Report Pt. button on the Mode Toolbar. You are now ready to begin entering Reporting Points.
4. Move the mouse cursor near the place you want the new reporting point. Click the left mouse button; a new point will be created that is attached to the mouse (the point is captured). As you move the mouse you will notice that the cursor "slides" along the alignment. Since reporting points do not change the alignment, they are constrained to lie on the L-line.
5. To anchor the point, click the left mouse button again.
NOTE: You can press the <ESC> or <DEL> keys while in capture mode, this will replace or remove the captured point.
NOTE: If you click the right mouse button while in capture mode, the cross section, data and status windows will be updated and you will still remain in capture mode.
