Managing overlapping routes with route processing

The Route Processing tool can perform the following actions:

• Hide or offset overlapping cartographic routes for a product.
• Combine the identifiers of overlapping routes that have the same type.
• Calculate fields on a route based on a rule condition.

This functionality allows you to simplify a product and improve its cartographic appearance.
