Drawing Tool
« on: November 05, 2013, 04:46:57 PM »
I have downloaded the free version of TF.  Someone recommended the software so I thought I would give it a whirl.

I am struggling with something I am trying to do.

I loaded a map and marked a waypoint.  I want to draw a line with a specific bearing from that waypoint.  I can't figure out how to do that.   Certainly that can be done; I just can't find how to do it.  I have searched and not found what I am looking for.

Any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Well, I kind of figured out what to do.  I don't seem to be able to end the track so I draw another line beginning at a different location on the map.  A learning curve.  I haven't drawn on maps like this previously.  Looks like I'll be able to get to where I am trying to.

Hi,

Sounds like you figured it out.  As you draw a track the software will display the bearing.  To save out a track, right click somewhere on the map and choose "save as..."

Good luck, and let us know if you have any other questions!

Can we create three dimensional lines and figures too?
