Inroads FAQ - Edit Template Q. What is the difference between the Global and Local Edit modes in the Edit Template box? A. Both of these modes are applicable when editing a segment of your template. The Global and Local Edit modes both change the active segment to the new input length and/or slope. The difference between the modes lies in how the segments outside . outside (away from the centerline) the active are treated. The Global Edit Mode does not change the length and slope of any of the outside segments; it repositions all segments outside the active. The Local Edit mode changes the active segment and the adjacent outer segment; all other segments do not change. Local Edit makes the adjacent outer segment begin at the new active segment endpoint but keep its original endpoint. Note: The Add After and Add Before modes are used to insert new segments. After adds a new segment next to and outside the active segment. Before adds a new segment next to and inside (closer to the centerline) the active segment.
