Summary

The GT_XV command in GeoTools provides a fast and efficient way to edit polyline vertices, offering quick access to essential PEDIT Edit Vertex functions like Move, Insert, and Break. In addition to standard editing tools, GT_XV includes an advanced Polyline Statistics feature that displays slope length, projected horizontal length, coordinate extents (X, Y, Z), and vertex count—making it a powerful tool for surveying, GIS, and engineering applications.

GeoTool -> Polyline Tools -> Create/Edit -> Express Pedit

Key Features Include:

• Navigate polyline vertices using Next / Previous for quick selection.
• Move vertices to a new location.
• Z allows modification of vertex elevation.
• Insert a new vertex between the current and next vertex.
• Break the polyline at the selected vertex.
• Statistics display slope length, projected horizontal length, coordinate extents, and vertex count.
• Settings allow control over how new vertex elevations are handled.
• Works seamlessly in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander.

Benefits:

With GT_XV, users can edit polylines with greater speed and precision, reducing manual keystrokes while gaining detailed geometric insights.
