The Reach Table Edit command allows the user to edit the reach parameters in one dialog box for common hydrology routing methods. When the user selects this command, a modeless dialog box will be displayed. This dialog box contains an editable data grid listing all the reaches in the current scenario. When the user selects a row in the data grid, the corresponding reach will be zoomed to the Map View (if not visible) and highlighted. In addition, the user can select a reach from the Map View, and the corresponding row in the data grid will be shown selected.
Follow the steps below to use the Reach Table Edit command:
- From the Input ribbon menu, click the Routing Reaches dropdown menu and then select the Reach Table Edit command.
