To edit the resistance of a link or node in a network topology
1 Verify that the network topology containing the link or node is loaded.
Be sure to load the topology from the current drawing. You can specify
resistance for network topologies only.
2 In the map, double-click the link or node for which you want to specify
resistance.
If more than one topology contains the same link or node, select one of
the topologies.
Update the other topologies (page 891) later.
3 In the Properties palette, under the group of Topo properties, enter new
values for resistance. You must enter a numeric value.
■ For a node, enter a value for Resistance, which is the resistance to
cross the node.
■ For a link, enter values for Direct Resistance and Reverse Resistance.
Direct resistance is the resistance to travel in the direction that a link
was created, while reverse resistance is the resistance in the opposite
direction along a link. The default value is the length of the link.
The new resistance values are assigned to the objects.
NOTE You can also store a resistance value in object data or an external database.
When you run a flood trace, path trace, or best route analysis, specify the location
of this data.
If you are entering the commands on the command line, use the MAPEDITRES1
command to edit the Direct Resistance of links and the Resistance of nodes;
use the MAPEDITRES2 command to edit the Reverse Resistance of links.
