Editing the network scale

Visum uses the network scale to calculate the distance between two points in length units from the distance in coordinate units.

Notes: The network scale is only valid if no projection is in use.

If you use metric units, the formula distance [m] = network scale • distance [coordinate units] applies. If you use imperial units, the formula distance [miles/1000] = network scale • distance [coordinate units] applies.

1.  On the Network menu, click Network settings.

The Network settings window opens.

2.  Select the Co-ordinate system tab.

3.  Under Network scale, enter a factor the network scale is multiplied by.

Note: If you change the network scale, the lengths of line objects (for example links, connectors and line route items) may alter, too. If required, they must be explicitly recalculated (Recalculating lengths).

4.  Confirm with OK.

If you have not recalculated the lengths, a message will be displayed.

5.  Confirm with OK.

The network scale is changed.
