Create Map Objects

Top  Previous  Next

After you create your map, you may add new map objects to reflect changes on your network, add nodes not discovered during map creation, or connect network segments.

 

Add new map objects to your map with the Create Node command. Click on one or more map objects (any node or network segment). The new node you create will be connected to all selected map objects. Then select Create Node from the Edit menu. The New Node Properties dialog is displayed.

Connect different network segments by selecting two or more segments or nodes on the map and then selecting Create Node from the Edit menu. LANsurveyor automatically adds a node and connects the networks.
