Creating a POI

Note: Before you create a POI, you need to create a POI category (Creating a POI category).

1.  In the Network editor window, click the Insert mode icon .

2.  In the Network window, click the POIs button.

3.  In the network, click the position on which you want to insert the POI.

Tips: You specify settings for the newly inserted network object directly in the Quick view (POIs) window.

The attributes of POIs are described here (Properties and options of POIs).

If you want to display the Create POI window when inserting the object, you can right-click the POIs button in the Network window and activate Show dialogs when inserting objects.

Note: You can edit the position of the POI afterwards.

You can now create a border. The border is optional and serves to illustrate the extent of the POI.

You can continue as follows:

  • If you do not want to define a border for the POI, press Esc. The POI is then inserted without a border. You can specify the border later (Creating a boundary).
  • If you want to define a border for the POI right away, proceed with (Creating a boundary) step 5.

The POI is inserted.

Note: If you want to define the display of POIs, select the Points of Interest entry under Graphics > Edit graphic parameters (Displaying POIs).
