Showing the content of a model transfer file

There are two options for showing the data of a model transfer file in a tree structure. You can also compare this data with the network data of the currently opened version file. To do so, synchronize the model transfer file with other windows, e.g. the Network editor window, so that the respective network objects are highlighted in both windows at the same time.

1.  Open the desired version file.

2.  From the File menu, choose Compare and transfer networks > Show model transfer file.

The Open: Model transfer file window opens.

3.  Select the desired file.

4.  Click the Open button.

The model transfer file is opened. The data is displayed in a navigator.

Note: There are up to four entries listed below each object type:

 Inserted: This entry contains the inserted objects.

 Deleted: This entry contains the deleted objects.

 Modified: This entry contains the objects that were edited directly. It also includes the subentry All with all edited objects and a subentry for the edited attributes. For each attribute, you can see the objects whose attributes were edited and their new attribute values.

 Modified:<Attribute name>: This entry covers all the objects for which the attribute has been edited and the new attribute value. If there is no sub-entry, this implies that the attribute has been compared, but no object has been modified.

Dependently modified: This entry contains objects that were edited indirectly. Time profiles and vehicle journeys, e.g., are automatically changed when a line route is changed.

A dot in front of an object indicates that the object exists in the network which is currently open. Objects with a circle do not exist in the currently open network.

5.  Click the icons to make the settings of your choice.

Tip: Alternatively, use the context menu or the Model transfer file menu to call functions.

Flat view

Click this symbol to show "dependent" object types in the navigator at the top level (e.g. the polygon of a link or the course of a line route).

Hierarchical view

Click this symbol to show "dependent" object types in the navigator below their respective object type (e.g. a polygon below links).

Show changed attributes only

Click this icon to display only modified object types in the browser, in which attributes have been modified.

Also show attributes compared

Click this icon to display all object types in the browser in which attributes have been modified; in addition all attributes which have been compared are displayed.

Also show attributes and tables compared

Click this icon to display all object types in the browser in which attributes and tables have been compared.

Synchronizing the model transfer file with other windows

You can synchronize the model transfer file with other windows, e.g. the Network editor window, the Junction editor window or a list. If the windows are synchronized, you can highlight one or several network objects in one window and they are automatically highlighted in the other windows as well (i.e. if they have the same code). Depending on your setting, the view in the Network editor window is automatically shifted or zoomed in.

Note: Synchronization only works if you activate it for all relevant windows.

1.  Position the window with the model transfer file and the other windows of your choice next to each other.

2.  From the Model transfer file menu, choose > Synchronization with other windows and select the entry of your choice.

Description

No synchronization

The model transfer file is not synchronized with other windows.

Highlight object(s)

The objects highlighted in the model transfer file are also highlighted in the other windows and vice versa.

3.  In the model transfer file, click an entry.

The network objects below the selected entry are highlighted in the other windows.

Note: A dot next to a network object indicates that this object exists in the network which is currently open. Network objects with a circle do not exist in the network currently open and can thus not be marked.

4.  In another window, click an entry for an inserted, changed or deleted network object.

The network object is highlighted in the Model transfer file window.
