Using the “Adjust trench and duct assignments” workflow, cables and ducts can be assigned to or deassigned from several trenches via a tracing, a map selection or via existing ducts/cables.
Procedure
Start the workflow in Workflow Explorer > Survey-plan workflows > Adjust trench and duct assignment by double-clicking it, from the context menu or by clicking the button in the lower right area of the workflow explorer:
or in the NET planning tab:
or in the context menus for the duct/cable in the trench/duct form.
You will be prompted to choose a duct or trench:
If a trench has been selected, the duct to be assigned must then be selected:
The following dialog opens:
On the left side, assignments can be canceled. | On the right side, assignments can be added. |
![]() |
![]() |
The following options are available for canceling the assignment: Trenches/ducts are selected in the illustration. Trenches/ducts are selected in the illustration and then the reference duct is selected. and via assigned trenches and ducts Trenches to which the duct/cable is assigned. Ducts to which the duct/cable is assigned. |
The following options are available for adding the assignment: Trenches/ducts are selected in the illustration. Trenches/ducts are selected in the illustration and then the reference duct is selected. Determine trenches and ducts with tracing Trenches and ducts may be determined as start and end. The distance between them is determined via a tracing. The assignment can also take place via an existing duct/cable and its assignments. Select a trench with the desired reference object > object is also assigned. Select a duct with the desired reference object > object is also assigned. |

First, the option for the assignment has to be selected. Then, the corresponding elements can be selected with the “Run” button.
Tracing
First the start element and then the target element must be selected in the illustration.
The path found is displayed via a highlight.
The trenches found are displayed in the dialog.
The assignment is applied with “Apply”.
Existing duct/cable
If you now want to apply the assignment for another duct for the same trenches, select the assigned ducts (indirect)/assigned trenches (indirect) option and select the object in the illustration. A tree view appears:
![]() |
![]() |
in which the desired object can be selected.
The trenches are listed and the assignment is applied with Apply.
Map selection
If the map-selection option has been specified, in addition to the start element, all trench sections in the illustration to which the duct/cable is to be assigned must be selected.
The trenches found are displayed in the dialog.
The assignment is applied with “Apply”.
Note
If the trenches do not form a clear geometry (end points do not lie correctly on top of each other), this message appears: .
With the button, you can jump to the appropriate point of the incorrect geometry. Once you have corrected the geometry, you can continue the workflow with the Update button
