Fire Edge
Drawing a Fire Edge
There is currently a bug with drawing fire edges where the direction the line is drawn will dictate which way the symbology faces.
Drawing left to right makes the ticks face down and drawing right to left makes the ticks face up.
Users can easily add a fire edge by using the Copy to Line tool.
To add a fire edge:
Click
next to the polygon you would like to add a fire line to
Click Copy to Line
The Fire Edge will appear around the polygon
Change Direction of Fire Edge Tick Marks
Users may invert the fire line if the tick marks are facing the wrong direction.
To invert the fire line:
Click
Click Invert
The Fire Edge tick marks will now face the opposite direction
