Enter Coordinates

Use the Coordinates tab to define the position of an activity. The distance coordinates can be entered by:

Ways to access

Start/End Date - Select from the drop-down menu the required Start and End Date from the calendar. The dates must be within the working time of the allocated calendar. If the end date is changed, the start date is recalculated and the duration is kept.

These settings can be changed via the menu Tools > Options > Activity.

Start/End Time - Input field to set the required Start and End Time of a current activity. The time must be within the working time of the allocated calendar.
Duration - The duration of the activity in the selected time unit. The entry of the duration as a number (without a unit) is always based on the default time unit. If the duration is calculated within the Calculation tab the value cannot be changed.

These settings can be changed via the menu Tools > Options > Project.

Start Distance - The absolute station point at the beginning of an activity. Select from the drop-down menu the required station point. A station point can also be selected from the Distance Profiles inside the Tilos Explorer > Project Data > Distance Axis Definition > Distance Profiles.
Start Relative - In case of an existing Equation Set, the start will be recalculated relative to its basis. The entry of a relative value will be recalculated in absolute coordinates.
End Distance - The absolute station point at the end of an activity. Select from the drop-down menu the required station point. A station point can also be selected from the Distance Profiles inside the Tilos Explorer > Project Data > Distance Axis Definition > Distance Profiles.
End Relative - In case of an existing Equation Set, the end will be recalculated relative to its basis. The entry of a relative value will be recalculated in absolute coordinates.
Length - The difference between the absolute start and the absolute end. If a value is entered the end will be recalculated.
Change direction - Press the button to swap the absolute start point with the absolute end point.

Sector - Select from the drop-down menu a required Sector from the library to set the start and end points of an Activity automatically. This Selection can not be changed directly.
Remove Sector Allocation - Click the 'Remove Sector Allocation' button to remove the choice of a sector. So the start and end point of an activity has to be set manually again.
