Title: Moving waypoints & creating routes
#2
rcassano Wrote:When I lay out a new route, I do so zoomed way out so I can get the big picture. After completing this I go back to the first waypoint in the route and move the location to fine tune the route around obstructions and low water, etc. In the Help menu it says:

"When "Mode" is "<+>" waypoints can be moved on the chart. Move the cursor over the waypoint name. The cursor will change to a move cursor. Drag the waypoint to the location desired on the chart."

What is "Mode" and where do I turn this on?

"Mode" refers to the 5 tools available that are in the upper right corner of the chart window. The hand tool moves the chart, the blue dotted box selects a portion of the chart to zoom in to, the diagonal line is the range/bearing/distance tool, the "cross" is the waypoint tool ("<+>") and the pencil is the annotation tool.

rcassano Wrote:Sometimes I like to move a waypoint I'm navigating to because what looked like a safe clearance on the computer screen turned out to be too close in real life. Can this be done in MacEnc?

Yes, with the waypoint tool.

rcassano Wrote:Also, when creating a new route should there be a line connecting each waypoint as it is put on the chart? This would make it easier to see a straight line course and if this line is running over obstructions between waypoints. So far, I have been able to double click and lay out a series of waypoints in a route but don't see the connecting line from point of origin to destination.

Have you done this by selecting Route/New in the Routes window? Additionally, to see the line connecting waypoints, you must select Route/Show Selected in the Menu bar..
