A feature brought into FX-Net v3.1 (January 2002) is the ability to edit the characteristics of the baselines and points; which are used to create Cross Section, Time-Height and Sounding maps from the Volume Browser. The baselines are used for creating model cross sections, and the points are used for creating model time-height and sounding profiles.

On the main FX-Net toolbar, you will see a button . Selecting this will load the baselines and points in the main FX-Net window as shown below.

The product legend will load in the top right, as you can see in the above image. Only one of the two (Baselines/Points) is editable at one time, and it will list which is editable in parentheses. There are two ways to change which is editable:

1) Right click on the product that is listed as editable. When the menu appears, the Editable item will be checked. Simply select Editable again to un-check it, and by default, the other will become editable.
2) Right click on the product that is not editable. When the menu appears, select Editable and the product will now become editable.

  To edit the baselines or points themselves, simply place your cursor over a baseline or point (whichever is editable), and the cursor will change from an arrow (most likely) to a cross with 4 arrows. Then click the baseline or point and drag it to the location you want to use for viewing model data.

Baselines are not only movable, but are re-sizable. To re-size a baseline, place your cursor over an endpoint of a baseline, it will change into a cross with 4 arrows, and move the end of the baseline wherever you like. Notice that the baseline can be moved and re-sized in this way. You may orient the baseline in any direction by "grabbing" an endpoint and moving it.

Once you move and re-size baselines and points, the changes are written into FX-Net and will remain even if you close and restart FX-Net. To get back to the original settings, select the Baseline Tool button on the main FX-Net toolbar to show the baselines and points in the main window. Then simply right-click on either product in the top right to open the edit menu, and select Restore Defaults. This will put the baselines/points back in their default location so you may start with a clean slate again. Note that to restore defaults, the product selected must be editable.
