Reset Section

Reset All: Removes existing Location, Panel and Backbone markers.

 

Location Marker Section

Location Marker: Toggle the view of the Location Markers in the GPS calibrated drawing.

gps_location_markers_0_zoom33

Location Markers are inserts that are placed at the GPS coordinates of the drawing. The tooltip of the marker displays the Location name as defined in the Display Format String of the GPS Settings tool as well as any equipment found at that location.

 

Location Markers are placed in the drawing on a layer named "GPS_LOC_PIN_TEMP". We do not recommend placing any other entities on this layer. When the Location Marker toggle button is set to unchecked, all layer entities are deleted without prompting.

 

Double-clicking a Location Marker in the drawing will show its statistics.

 

Insert Scale: Sets the scale of the block defined in the Geometry setting.

 

Geometry: Sets the block to insert as a Location Marker. The Geometry dropdown is populated by dwg files in the %BLOCKS%\GPS\Location Markers directory.

In a stock installation this will be:

C:\users\public\documents\WireCAD\WireCADx\Blocks\GPS\Location Markers.

 

Overlay Mode: Determines the display behavior of locations that share the same GPS coordinates. The modes are:

None: Do nothing. Overlay marker upon marker. In this mode the tooltip data is aggregated to the topmost marker.

Offset: Offset the markers based on the OffsetX and OffsetY of the GPS Settings.

Rotate: Rotate the markers around the point.

Radial: Rotate the markers based on the Radial Angle and Radial Distance of the GPS Settings.

 

Panel Marker Section

Panel: Toggle the view of the Panel Markers in the GPS calibrated drawing.

gps_panel_markers_0_zoom33

Panel Markers are inserts that are placed at the GPS coordinates of the drawing. The tooltip of the marker displays the Sysname as defined in the Display Format String of the GPS Settings tool as well as any Backbones found on that SysName.

 

Panel Markers are placed in the drawing on a layer named "GPS_LOC_PANEL_TEMP". We do not recommend placing any other entities on this layer. When the Panel toggle button is set to unchecked, all layer entities are deleted without prompting.

 

Double-clicking a Panel Marker in the drawing will show its statistics.

 

Insert Scale: Sets the scale of the block defined in the Geometry setting.

 

Geometry: Sets the block to insert as a Panel Marker. The Geometry dropdown is populated by dwg files in the %BLOCKS%\GPS\Panel Markers directory.

 

In a stock installation this will be:

C:\users\public\documents\WireCAD\WireCADx\Blocks\GPS\Panel Markers.

 

Overlay Mode: Determines the display behavior of panels that share the same GPS coordinates. The modes are:

None: Do nothing. Overlay marker upon marker. In this mode the tooltip data is aggregated to the topmost marker.

Offset: Offset the markers based on the OffsetX and OffsetY of the GPS Settings.

Rotate: Rotate the markers around the point.

Radial: Rotate the markers based on the Radial Angle and Radial Distance of the GPS Settings.

 

 

Backbones Section

Backbones: Toggle the view of the Backbones Markers in the GPS calibrated drawing.

gps_backbone_no_arc_zoom33

 

Backbone Markers are polylines that are placed at the GPS coordinates of the drawing. The tooltip of the marker displays the Backbone either the basic data of the first strand of fiber in the Backbone or the full Backbone statistics if the Show Backbone Stats checkbox is checked.

 

Backbone Markers are placed in the drawing on a layer named "GPS_LOC_BB_TEMP". We do not recommend placing any other entities on this layer. When the Backbone toggle button is set to unchecked, all layer entities are deleted without prompting.

 

Double-clicking a Backbone Marker in the drawing will show its statistics.

 

Arc Distance: Sets the polyline bulge factor of the Backbone. A bulge factor of 1 will create an arc of 180°.

Arc Distance of .1

Arc Distance of .1

 

 

Self-Connect Arc Distance: Sets the polyline bulge factor of polyline that share the same source and destination location GPS coordinates.

 

 

Show Mode: Determines the display behavior of backbones. The modes are:

ByGPSLocation: Place the source and destination points of the polyline based on GPS coordinates.

ByLocationMarker: Place the source and destination points of the polyline based on the GPS coordinates of Location Markers found in the drawing. This can be used to limit the display of Backbones.

ByPanelMarker: Place the source and destination points of the polyline based on the GPS coordinates of Panel Markers found in the drawing. This can be used to limit the display of Backbones.

 

ByPanelMarker

Show Backbone Stats: Generate the backbone statistics such as total fiber count, available fiber count and blocked fibers. This data is then displayed in the tooltip when the mouse hovers over the Backbone polyline.

 

Show Vias: If the Backbone contains related Via data with Locations (with GPS data) the polyline traverse from source to destination and every Via point.

 

 

Filter Section

The filter section is cascading. Selecting a location will cascade to the Panels filter by limiting the Panels shown to those that appear at the selected Location(s). In the same way, the Panels filter will cascade to the Backbones filter.

 

Locations: Filter by Location.

Panels: Filter by Panels.

Backbones: Filter by Backbones.

 

Settings Section

Settings: Display the GPS Settings.
