How it works

type tss_locator on command prompt

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 :
  1. calculates the projection on the entity
  2. calculates the length from the entity starting point along the entity
  3. designs a vertical line and write text with KP value (custom settings)
  4. write KP and point coordinates on a table

fast & accurate
