Check cable route

The tool Check cable route allows you to verify that a selected cable runs as planned between the start node and the end node in the map.

The tool checks the cable route and gives you a message if one or more of the following error occurs:

The cable skips a route along the way, i.e. in route A-B-C, the cable is not found in route B.

Route and node is not connected to each other along the way, i.e the tool does not find an unbroken connected chain consisting of node-route-node-route.

The cable does not connect towards the start- or end node. The cable may have been placed so that it does not reach or runs through the start- or end node.

 

1.Activate the function via Tools > Check Cable Route. The tool will appear as a new tab in the Sidebar.  

2.Select the start node by clicking Select next to the start node field, then choose the start node in the graphical view.  

3.Select the end node by clicking Select next to the end node field, then choose the end node in the graphical view.  

4.Select the cable by clicking Select next to the cable field, then choose the cable in the graphical view.

It is possible to trace the selected objects in the map using the trace buttons to the left of the selected object.

5.Press Check to start the function.
