1. Create a feature arcs, nodes and vertices.

In the map module, create feature objects in the active coverage.

Use the Create Feature Arc File:Create Feature Arc icon.bmp tool to create arcs in the map coverage.
Begin creating a new arc by clicking in the graphics window at either arc end. If clicking on an existing feature node, vertex or arc, the new arc will snap to that object.
Double-click or press the Enter key to terminate the arc.
Use the Create Feature Node File:Tool CreateVertices.GIF tool to create additional nodes alone or along arcs.

2. Modify arcs.

Feature arcs, whether incorporated from boundary condition or material coverages or digitized often need to be edited after initial creation.
