Trace Distance Automatically

Process:

•Removing a distance along the topology for all possible drivable routes.

 
Requirements:

•Import the PlanPro XML and if necessary, inserted dot-like PSOs.

Description:

 
With the function 'Trace Distance Automatically' distances along the topology can be removed (contour tracking). All possible target points are marked on the topology from which a target point is to be selected.

Procedure:

1.Start the function 'Trace Distance Automatically'.

Command Line: PRS_DIST_A_AUTO

Ribbon: ProSig EPU -> Tools -> Services -> Trace Distance Automatically

oAfter calling the function, the prompt 'Select start point or dot-like object:' is issued via the command line.
 
 

2.Select a starting point on a topological edge or a localized dot-like object.
 

oAt the selected point, a temporary vertical line is drawn perpendicular to the topological edge or to the location point of the dot-like object with the information positive and negative.

oThe prompt 'Enter distance (positive value in working direction, negative value against working direction) <0.00>:' appears.
 
 

3.Specify a distance to be removed along the topology.
 

oIf the function finds multiple destinations due to several possible routes, all destinations are temporarily marked on the topology.

 

Illus.: Marked destinations for all possible drivable routes
 

oThen the prompt 'Multiple target positions found. Target positions marked. Select target position:' in the command line.
 
 

4.Select a target position, the selected target point is marked on the topology. The following prompt appears 'Von markiertem Punkt aus weitere Distanz abtragen (Yes/No) <Y> :'
 

oIf the prompt is confirmed with 'No', the function is terminated.

oIf the prompt is confirmed with 'Yes', step 3 must be repeated.
