Workspace Bar Shortcuts

InRoads XM makes it quicker and easier for users to access common information via a pop-up menu within the Workspace Bar. This menu provides various shortcuts to commonly used commands and will vary depending on which data category the user has selected. Integrating these shortcuts into a design workflow should help increase user speed and productivity.

Example: Shortcut to editing a horizontal alignment

1) Select the Geometry Tab at the bottom of the Workspace Bar.

2) Select an opened, defined horizontal alignment and right-click it. You will see the shortcut pop-up menu appear.

3) Choose Edit… and the Define Horizontal Curve Set dialogue box will appear.

4) From here, you can edit the horizontal alignment as needed.
