Link Editor

The Link Editor access level grants access to the Link Editor menu and all functions contained by it.

Import from Exchange table

Concerning older TMC versions: → Open Database

Start TMC Studio

→ Welcome Screen & Data Requirements for First Time Use

Define Network database for attributing map liks

To be able to link TMC Paths and Map, you will require the additional license for these functions. Once you have these licences go through the following steps:

Menu → Link Editor → Import Network Database form Shapefile

Configuration of the Link Editor

Menu → Tools → Options → Link Editor

Layer Properties

Submenu of 'Link Editor'

Configuration for Routing

Menu → Tools → Options → Link Editor → Routing

Creating and clearing Cache Files

Menu → Link Editor → Routing → Create Cache File

This function MUST be performed after the creation of a network database. Without this the performance of Routing will be very poor. Depending on the number of segments in your database this function will take several hours.

Menu → Link Editor → Routing → Clear Cache File

Use this function if you import new data into your network database. After this is done start 'Create Cache File'.

Importing Network Links

Menu → Link Editor → Import XML

Importing Network Links

Menu → Link Editor → Reorganize → Update Geometry / Attributes of network links from Network Database

The program will go through the defined network segments in the TMC path and will search for these segments in the network database. If the segment is found, the program will store the geometry and direction of the segment. Segments that are not found will be shown in the TMC path in red. At the end of this process a summary will show the results of the update.

Now you will be able to start working with the Link Editor.
