Introduction and overview of Export steps

As a High-Level planning tool, NET Design creates cost-optimized higher-level planning efficiently and quickly with only the specification of demand points, street center lines and the corresponding settings in the rules. NET Design still leaves the network planner sufficient scope to edit the automatically created calculation result manually. The final result is a high-level plan with suitable clusters, locations for distribution points, POPs and backbone points, as well as the trench duct and cable runs. 

However, if you want to provide detailed information, such as which microduct supplies which building, or require plots for construction or also want to output splice reports that contain information about how to splice in the distribution point, then export to NET Engineering is necessary. This depth of detail is not mapped in NET Design.

With the conversion to NET Engineering, you can map details and, for example, create reports, map which microduct supplies which building, including the microduct number and

microduct colour, create labels or add labels to the building. All these data can be output as reports for carrying out construction work and used for cooperation with project participants.

When a NET Design project is transferred to a NET Engineering project, the data is not modified, but supplemented and qualified. The project is supplemented, for example, by colour and designation schemes (for ducts/cables/locations), types are assigned, rules for splicing in the distribution point are specified, duct points are created, etc. 

Overview of Export steps 

The following steps are taken in the transfer of high-level planning to detailed planning.
