Measure Distance Interactively

Process:

•Measure a distance between a start and destination point on the topology for a selected path.

 
 
Requirements:

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

Description:
 

With the function 'Measure Distance Interactively' distances along the topology can be measured (contour tracking). When the function finds several topological edges in one connection point, select the edge on which the measurement will be continued. The measured distance is output via the command line.

Procedure:

1.Start the function 'Measure Distance Interactively'.

Command Line: PRS_DIST_M_KONTUR

Ribbon: ProSig EPU -> Tools -> Services -> Measure Distance Interactively

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.
 

oThe starting point is marked on the topology. When selecting a dot-like object, the location point is marked as the starting point.
 

oThe prompt 'Select destination point or dot-like object:' appears.
 
 

3.Select a destination point on a topological edge or a localized dot-like object.
 

oThe destination point is marked on the topology. When selecting a dot-like object, the location point is marked as the destination point.
 

oIf the function finds several topological edges in a connection point (switch node) on the way to the destination point, the possible edges are marked. Then select the edge on which the measurement is to be continued.

oThe measured length between start and destination point is displayed via the command line.
 
 

4.Then the prompt 'Vom letzten Punkt aus weitermessen? (Yes/No) <N> :' appears.
 

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

oIf the prompt is confirmed with 'Yes', measurement can be continued from the marked destination point. To do this, repeat step 3.

 
       Then the command line displays both the measured length starting from the last point and the total measured length starting from the starting point of step 2.
