I don't think negative distances work like that. Try using the radial your following & 15nm, not just -15

Can you confirm that there are not any waypoints that come between EEL/-15 and EEL? If there is a waypoint between them you will have to place the new waypoint before that fix.

There have been no changes to this in SP1B !EEL must be part of your active route.Using the LEGS page.......Line select EEL to the scratchpad.Add the /-15 and line select it on top of EEL.That is how it works.Positive alongtrack waypoints can only be done if you sequence them yourself !!Fred.

Fred said that instead of typing the entire EEL/-15 string you must downselect "EEL" and then type "/-15" next to it.
