How to perform basic operations on tracks

Posted on Categories Common Features

The basic operations for tracks include: drag track points, drag the entire track, add and delete track points, and split and merge tracks. To perform these operations, you need to make sure that the tracks are in editable mode.

This article describes how to perform these basic operations on tracks by using the PC and mobile versions.

1. PC

On the map, find the required track, click on the track, and then click the C978CEE0-1ABB-45dc-A8A8-7D879B9897E3 button to go to the [Track Settings] dialog box.

Select [Editable State], and then click [Save].

When you move the mouse cursor (pointer) to different positions on the track, the pointer changes to different styles, and the prompt bar in the lower left corner of QubiMap demonstrates the supported operations on the current position and specific operation methods.

Drag a track point: Move the mouse pointer to a track point (node). The pointer changes to img. Hold down the left mouse button to drag the node.

Move the entire track: Hold down the Shift key and move the mouse pointer to any track position. The pointer changes to img. Hold down the left mouse button to drag the entire track.

Add a track point: Hold down the Ctrl key and move the mouse pointer to the desired location on the track. The pointer changes to img. Click the left mouse button to add a node.

Delete a track point: Hold down the Ctrl key and move the mouse pointer to the required track node. The pointer changes to img. Click the left mouse button to delete the node.

Split a track:

(1) Hold down the Alt key and move the mouse pointer to the node where you want to split the track. The mouse pointer changes toimg. Click the left mouse button, and the following dialog box appears:

(2) Click [OK]. The original track is split into two tracks.

Note: A track consisting of only two track points cannot be split.

Merge tracks:

(1) Hold down the Alt key, move the mouse pointer to the endpoint of a track, and click the left mouse button. The mouse pointer changes to img. Hold down the left mouse button to drag the endpoint of this track to the endpoint of another track. The two endpoints are automatically snapped. Release the left mouse button, and the following dialog box appears:
