Description

Insert an existing vertex into a line, alignment, shape(pipe), polygon or leader.

Controls

Control	Description
Object	Input the object to which a vertex is to be added.
Between	Input the vertex at the start of the segment where the new vertex is to be inserted.
And	Input the vertex at the end of the segment where the new vertex is to be inserted.
Vertex	Input the vertex to add to the Object.
Horizontal Offset	The horizontal offset between the selected segment and the new vertex.
Vertical Offset	The vertical offset between the selected segment and the new vertex.
Break object at vertex	Select the checkbox to break a line or pipe object at the vertex.

Notes

When selecting the Object, place the mouse pointer over the segment where the vertex is to be inserted. This will automatically insert the correct point name or vertex id in the Between and And boxes.
You can insert vertices into lines, alignments, shapes or polygons.
You can insert vertices into a leader providing the vertices have the same height as the leader and its text.
Press Ctrl then click a location in the model view to insert a new vertex into the object at the cursor location.
A vertex is inserted into an arc if it is positioned on the line of the arc.
Vertices cannot be inserted into a transition curve.
Only vertices from the object can be selected in the Between and And boxes.
Vertices from a reference file cannot be inserted.
For alignments with a specified horizontal design standard, you can insert a vertex into a straight section only. A curve will be recomputed at the new intersection point. If a curve does not display, a curve could not be computed within the constraints. On the Alignment tab, in the Properties group, click to examine the curve computation.

Possible errors

Error	Description
Invalid Entry	The vertex to add is already included in the object.
Vertices do not form a valid segment	A line, alignment, shape(pipe) or polygon segment does not exist between the Between and End vertices.
Operation failed. The update would break the geometry.	You may be trying insert a vertex into a leader that does not share the same height as the vertices in the leader.
