GeoPlan Menu

The following options are available:

Menu item

Description

Set coordinate system

Enables the coordinate system of the current network to be changed. See Selecting the Coordinate System for more information. More...

Set alternative coordinate system

Available when no map control has been set.

Enables the online map projection system of the current network to be set. This is a required step to be able to view the GeoPlan using web mapping services.

Selecting this option displays the Alternative Coordinate System dialog. See Viewing GeoPlan Locations and Objects on an Online Map for more information. More...

Show Locator window

Switches the locator window on and off. The locator window appears in the corner of the GeoPlan; it shows the whole network with a red box to show the area currently visible in the GeoPlan. More...

Set as target

Sets the current GeoPlan Window as the target view when using multiple GeoPlan windows of the same network. More...

Clear all custom labels

Remove all custom labels from the current GeoPlan Window. More...

Find in GeoPlan

Displays the GeoPlan Find dialog, which used to search for network objects or objects in Additional GIS Layers. More...

Go to XY coordinate

Enables you to centre the GeoPlan View on a specified point, and zoom in or out on that point if required. See Find and Zoom Using XY Coordinates for more information. More...

Tracing tools

Contains menu items that enable a number of traces for use in analysing network connectivity. More...

Menu Item	Description
Downstream trace mode	Invokes Downstream Trace mode. Click a conduit to trace all possible downstream paths from the selected conduit. See Upstream / Downstream Network Trace for more information. This also applies to selected excluded conduits if the Excluded object select tool or menu option is turned on. Toolbar: GeoPlan Tools
Upstream trace mode	Invokes Upstream Trace mode. Click a conduit to trace all possible upstream paths from the selected conduit. See Upstream / Downstream Network Trace for more information. This also applies to selected excluded conduits if the Excluded object select tool or menu option is turned on. Toolbar: More GeoPlan Tools
Pipe direction tool	Invokes Pipe Direction Trace mode. Enables a check to be made on the direction of a selection of pipes. Click the downstream pipe of a current selection of pipes. The direction of pipes in relation to the downstream pipe will be tested. See Pipe Direction Trace for more information. Toolbar: More GeoPlan Tools
Connectivity	Lists details of all physically separate sub-networks within the model. Used to check that the model is fully connected. See Connectivity Trace for more information.
Intermediate paths	Selects all paths that exist between two currently selected nodes. See Intermediate Paths Trace for more information.
Proximity trace	Enables searches for all nodes that lie within a certain distance of a pipe (to which the node is not connected). See Proximity Trace for more information.
Network isolation trace	Applicable to Distribution Networks only. Selects all objects that cannot be traced to a source (i.e. a borehole, tank or surface source object) without the trace passing through a closed valve. See Network Isolation Trace for more information.
Pipe isolation trace	Applicable to Distribution Networks only. Selects the nearest valves to a selected pipe(s) to be closed in order to isolate the pipe. See Pipe Isolation Trace for more information.
Long Section tracing settings	Applicable to Collection Networks only. Enables the settings that determine how links and nodes are selected for inclusion in a long section, when using the Long Section Pick Tool, to be changed. See Setting Long Section Pick Criteria for more information.

Availability: Whenever a GeoPlan is the currently active window.

GeoPlan tools

Displays the menu items that are used primarily when working on the GeoPlan Window. These items are also available via the GeoPlan context menu and on the GeoPlan toolbar. See the Geoplan Toolbar for a description of the options. More...

Spatial bookmarks

Contains menu items enabling creation and management of Spatial Bookmarks for the current network. More...

Export to AutoCAD DWG

Save the current GeoPlan / GeoExplorer window to DWG format. The view can then be opened and viewed in AutoCAD. More...

Export to KMZ for Google Earth

Saves the active GeoPlan network with its current settings (properties, themes, display...) as a KMZ file for export to Google™Earth. More...
