To AUTO Join clearing lines, do the following:
AUTO Join is used to make the presentation of lines clearer in cases where
many clearing lines are created in close proximity.
The AUTO Join feature can be applied where two or more bearing lines or
range lines bisect. For example, if two clearing lines are created in the
same set, the length of the 2nd line will be automatically trimmed at the
intersection point with the 1st clearing line.
1. To enable automatic joining of two or more clearing lines click the
AUTO Join
button. When AUTO Join is enabled the button is
highlighted until the feature is disabled by clicking the button again.
2. Add the type of clearing line to auto join by clicking the
Add
Bearing
or
Add Range
button, the selected button is highlighted,
in addition to the AUTO Join button.
3. Create a clearing line on the chart display as described previously.

Move the cursor over the clearing line (2nd line) to be trimmed until
the cursor changes to the following graphic
•
Hold down the left key and drag the line to the 1st clearing line.
When the selected line bisects the 1st clearing line the arrow at the
end of the 2nd line's origin point is trimmed at the intersection point
