Proximity Trace View
The Proximity Trace View is used as part of the Proximity Trace procedure. The proximity trace searches for nodes that lie within a specified distance of a pipe to which the node is not connected. This may indicate connectivity problems and identify locations where nodes should be connected into adjacent pipes.
The view is displayed by choosing Tracing tools | Proximity trace from the GeoPlan menu while a network is open.
