Editor Tools in MSV

Editors are there to add, modify or remove objects and settings for: Way, Stream, Modal Split, Poly, Line, Sign, Zebra, Stop, Speed Breaker, Control Area, Priority Control, Signal Control, Simulation Settings and BGM (Background Map).

Each editor will have a close button (a small button with ‘x’ on it, top right corner), a ‘Done’ button and a ‘Discard’ button.

Example: Way Editor

Signal Editor

Polygon Objects Editor

Once data is entered or modified, pressing the Done button will use the data. The Discard button will restore to the previous data just before the editor was opened. The Close button will do the same action as the Discard button and then close the editor.

Important Notes

• Any numerical or text entered in the fields in any editor manually should be followed by pressing the ‘Enter’ key while the cursor is still inside the text field. Just typing and pressing the Done button will not use the new data entered. Make sure to press Enter as soon as some data is typed.
• Using the + or – buttons will automatically use the data, and there is no need to press Enter for those changes.
• All editors need to be closed manually using the Close button; pressing the Done button is only to tell the program that entering data for that object was done.
