Accepted plans can have Diversions added to them from the Diversions tab.
Begin creating a Diversion by clicking the Edit button .
Diversions use the same tools as Editing Plans, however, the features that you can add are replaced with road closures, routes, and diversion specific signs. These can be Manual Diversions or using the Auto-Router, which automates some of the diversion creation.
Closures, when added, will create a red, dashed line between any points added to the map.
Routes, when added, will use the name and colour selected on the palette.
Signs are created in the same way as when editing plans, but the option to add supplementary plates is replaced with the Route(s) to associate them with.
Any accessible Custom Signs can be added from those available.
The Auto-Router allows Closures and Routes to be created in an assisted fashion. This will take two or more points and path a route or closure along the roads automatically. Points after the initial A and B points inform the Auto-Router of points on the map that the pathing should take. This allows routes to be set "the long way around" or where it is otherwise necessary to not take the shortest route.
Closures, are created by adding two points to the map. Additional points can then be placed to make sure the closure follows any necessary paths that are part of the closure.
Routes can be automatically created by placing points on the map that a route should go between. A to B are the primary points, with each additional point being used to influence the route from A to B.
The toggle Create suggested signage will automatically add signage to the route.
Note:These are suggested signage only and may require manual additions/changes to ensure that all the correct signage has been placed.
In the image above, one additional point has been added to ensure that the route doesn't take the shortest route from A to B, instead heading east before heading south and then west.
Closures and Routes are added via their palette and are drawn by clicking points on the map. Each point is anchored to the map and you should finish drawing the route before making any alterations. Right clicking on the final point will confirm the route or press Esc to cancel it.
Once a route has been established, select it and choose the Edit button from the toolbar to allow the route to be edited. Click and drag a point allows you to move that point around and the route will move in relation to it. Click along a line connecting two points to create a new point where the black dot is. Right-clicking on a point will remove it.
Note:While editing, each individual change to a route can be undone with the undo shortcut or by clicking the Undo button .
When adding signs make sure that you have the correct route(s) selected when placing these signs to save time adding them manually later on.
If any signs are added without being assigned to a route it will show up in the Diversion tab with No Routes Selected on its entry.
If you want to cancel your changes, click Cancel in the Diversions panel.
You will then be asked to confirm this by clicking Discard Changes.
To save your changes, click Save Changes in the Diversions panel.
You are required to enter a comment to describe any changes that you have made to the plan.
This editing session is then added to the History in the Plan panel alongside your comment.
With the Diversion(s) saved, they can now be seen on the map in the Diversions tab, listing all routes and signs.
Any changes that are required can be made by clicking the Edit button .
