Searching for and Assigning Special Points to Patterns

The Drive feature helps you search for and assign Special Points to patterns.

Open the Stop Patterns tab in the Route Definition screen.

The Drive feature on the Special Points tab is similar to the Drive feature on the Nodes tab. While the Drive feature on the Nodes tab helps you search for stops and assign stops to a route, the Drive feature on the Special Points tab helps you search for special points on the system map and assign the points to a pattern.

  1. Select a pattern on the Stop Patterns grid.
  2. Click Route Definition > Drive Points or right-click the Special Points grid. From the shortcut menu, select Drive Points.
    The Drive dialog box appears.
