When you hover the mouse on a path option, the software dynamically displays the preview for that path option in fast compute mode. The elbows or turns computed graphics are not rendered while in dynamic display. As you navigate, the software dynamically updates and displays the graphics. By default, the first path option is displayed with the elbows or turns computed graphics rendered, until you select another path option.

When you select a path option, the software displays the computed graphics with the rendered elbows or turns for that path option. You can also use the arrow keys or the TAB key to navigate the path options.

You can use the arrow keys and the TAB key only when you select a path option.

Minimum Distance Between End Points

Make sure to maintain a minimum distance between the two end points along each axis to avoid skews. The distance between the from and to end points should facilitate proper placement of the turn features. Insufficient distance might cause skews. The minimum distance is based on the dimensions of the selected route objects.
