MoveNode()

Summary

Changes the location of an endpoint feature in a standard geographic file.

Syntax

id = MoveNode(integer ID, coordinate location, array options)

Argument Contents
ID The ID of the point to move
location The new location of the point
Option Type Contents
Reason String If provided, a record will be added to the database's log file, with this used as the Reason column. If it's not provided, no entry will be added, even if the other options are present.

Example

// Move a node to a new location
from_pt = ClickCoord()
to_pt = ClickCoord()
SetLayer("Xsection")
id = RH2ID(LocateNearestRecord(from_pt, 0.25))
MoveNode(id, to_pt, )
