How it works
Start by typing the command tss_locator.
- You will be able to locate the specific position on any drawing-entity such as Kilometer Position, a very common need in railway design.
- Retrieve with Accuracy and efficient length distance and coordinates of any point on the entity.
- Get a list with locations (KP and point coordinates)
- Export results to excel
As simply as can get:
- Select the entity that will be calculated
- Define the value of staring KP (if it is not 0)
- Select a point on screen and locator :
- calculates the projection on the entity
- calculates the length from the entity starting point along the entity
- designs a vertical line and write text with KP value (custom settings)
- write KP and point coordinates on a table
