When you open a network, a map-based display, or GeoPlan, shows a geographical representation of the network,
00:11
and can be displayed over the top of a map or other background data.
00:16
You can move around the GeoPlan window using the panning tools or by using the GeoPlan locator map.
00:23
Panning the GeoPlan moves a small amount at a time within the area currently visible.
00:29
The GeoPlan locator map allows you to move to any location in your model quickly.
00:36
Expand the Tools menu, and then select Options.
00:40
This displays the Options dialog.
00:44
Click the GeoPlan tab, which contains several settings.
00:48
MapXtreme is the only Map Control compatible with ICM Standard and Ultimate.
00:54
The other map control options are provided for legacy compatibility only.
00:59
One of the GeoPlan options is auto-panning when at the edge of the Geoplan.
01:05
With this option enabled, when you move the cursor near the edges or corners of the GeoPlan, large arrows appear.
01:13
Click to scroll the view in the direction indicated, or click and hold to scroll repeatedly.
01:19
Expand the GeoPlan menu, then select GeoPlan Tools.
01:25
This lists the available tools alongside their toolbar symbols.
01:30
When familiar, these can be quickly selected directly from the toolbar.
01:35
To pan manually, on the Tools toolbar, click Pan, or from your keyboard, press one of the arrow keys.
01:44
Click and hold to drag the pointer to another part of the GeoPlan.
01:49
Panning can also be carried out by holding down the mouse scroll wheel while dragging the pointer on the GeoPlan.
01:56
To zoom in and zoom out, click the corresponding tool from the toolbar.
02:02
A single click will double the zoom level, or click and drag to zoom in to a specific area.
02:09
Scrolling the mouse wheel will also adjust the zoom at the cursor location.
02:14
Right click at any time on the GeoPlan to quickly access additional zoom functions such as Zoom to selection or Zoom to network.
02:28
Notice the GeoPlan locator map.
02:30
You can use this to move anywhere within your network.
02:34
The locator map displays a simple schematic of the entire network with a highlighted box inside it.
02:41
This box displays the current location of the GeoPlan window.
02:46
When you move the cursor over the highlighted box, it changes into a move icon.
02:52
Click and drag the highlighted box anywhere within the network to pan the main GeoPlan window to that location.
03:00
Knowing how to quickly navigate the GeoPlan lets you work as efficiently as possible.
