Adding a schematic plan

Various schematic plans can be added as subtemplates.

Select the FO splice plan, FO cable-splice plan, and cable-joint diagram.

FO splice plan

The following dialog opens:

mceclip1.png

Subtemplate

A “name” must be assigned for the subtemplate. An additional “description” can be stored.

Data

The data source must be selected under “Data”.

Filters can restrict the objects of the corresponding feature class. With the default setting “1 = 1”, all objects of the feature class in the project are output. However, it is also possible to filter by the FIDs of specific objects. This FID can be found in the upper area of the Feature-class form.

If records have already been filtered in the Feature-class form, they are also transferred to the filter using mceclip10.png.

Display

In the “Display” area, a previously created template file that contains the desired layouts must be selected. If multiple layouts exist in the template file, a layout must be checked. The attributes used in the layout can be replaced by placeholders.

Click on mceclip4.pngto open the dialog for the attribute substitutions. The attributes used in the layout must be entered in curly brackets. Entering the first bracket “{” will show all attributes available for selection in the layout. These can then be selected directly by double-clicking.

Note

Attributes must be defined as a block as described here if they are to be automatically substituted.

Possible substitutions are displayed by hovering over mceclip1.png.

These vary depending on the selected feature class and the corresponding values from the associated line/point. The following are available by default:

Also during the substitution, the possible values are displayed by entering the first bracket “{":

Settings

The “Settings” can be used to specify the direction in which the cables and fibers are to be arranged:

Output

A directory name can be specified and a file name must be specified for the splice plans to be output. The file name can be a specified text, a text in conjunction with a placeholder or created only via placeholders. Possible placeholders can be displayed by clicking mceclip1.pngnext to the "File name” field. These vary depending on the selected feature class. The following are available by default:

mceclip15.png

Once all settings have been made, the configuration has to be saved once only by clicking on mceclip4.png.

Additional subtemplates can be added. The configuration must then be saved again by clicking on mceclip5.png.

Example:

FO cable-splice plan

The following dialog opens:

mceclip7.png

Subtemplate

A “name” must be assigned for the subtemplate. An additional “description” can be stored.

Data

The data source “FO cable trace” is permanently set under “Data”.

Filters can restrict the objects of the corresponding feature class. With the default setting “1 = 1”, all objects of the feature class in the project are output. However, it is also possible to filter by the FIDs of specific objects. This FID can be found in the upper area of the Feature-class form.

If records have already been filtered in the Feature-class form, they are also transferred to the filter using mceclip10.png.

Settings

The “Settings” can be used to specify the reference (schematic or georeferenced) to be used for the display.

Output

A directory name can be specified and a file name must be specified for the reports to be output. The file name can be a specified text, a text in conjunction with a placeholder or created only via placeholders. Possible placeholders can be displayed by clicking mceclip1.pngnext to the “File name” field.

The placeholders for the attributes are adapted to the cable trace:
