The Select Events by Route widget in the Event Editor allows you to select events by specifying their measure(s) to an associated route or line. Engineering Station network events can be either searched using line or route name. Continuous network events can be selected using route names. Once the events are selected, they can be browsed and edited.

Depending on the network selected, the Line Name search option may or may not appear.

For Continuous Network, events do not span routes so the Line Name search option is unavailable.
