Description |

Number |
Unique number of the link The links are numbered consecutively. The preset number can be overwritten by a number which has not yet been assigned in the network. Note The number is identical for both directions of the link. |
|
From node To node |
Display of the node numbers at which the link starts and ends |
|
Type |
Use the drop-down list to allocate the link to a link type (Specifying link types). |

Opposite direction |
Close opposite direction
Notes One-way roads are evaluated with reference to the permitted transport systems. You can specify the graphic display of one-way roads under Graphics > Edit graphic parameters > Links. You can set specific markings for the attributes IsOneWayRoad and IsOneWayRoad_TSys (transport system-based) (Specifying basic settings for the Network editor window). If IsOneWayRoad has been selected in the attribute selection, all links which were inserted explicitly as one-way roads (opposite direction is closed to all transport systems) are highlighted. This previously non-existent direction of the link cannot be included in the merged network calculation following the Permit TSys for the opposite direction operation, because differences are only determined between two attribute values of an existing link. In case of a subsequent merged network calculation, we recommend that you set a capacity of 0 for the opposite direction instead of creating a "real" one-way road (Displaying flow bundles). Type Use the drop-down list to allocate the desired link type to the Opposite direction. It can vary from the type of the outward direction. |

Details |
You can open the Edit link window via this button. You can specify further settings for the link (Editing the attribute values of links). Notes If you want to display the Edit link window when inserting the object, you can right-click the Link button in the Network window and activate Show dialogs when inserting objects. You can also directly adjust settings for the newly inserted network object in the Quick view (Links) window. |
If the option has been selected, the opposite direction of the link is created with the same link number.
If the option has not been selected, a link is inserted with the same link number, which is yet closed to all transport systems. In this case, the inserted link is a one-way road.6. Confirm with OK.
The link is inserted.

Note: When creating a link, all turns are generated that are technically possible at both nodes of the link. For this, the default values of the user-defined turn standards are used (Managing turn standards). |
