Distance of Travel

The Analysis | Distance | Distance of Travel command measures the distance between selected locations on the map. The locations are selected based on their primary IDs. The distance between polygons or polylines is measured based on the boundary object's centroid location. A report of the total distance and distance traveled between primary IDs can be generated with this command.

Check the Trace the journey check box to show a line on the map indicating the travel route. In the Object Manager, the travel route's secondary ID (SID) displays the starting and ending primary IDs along with the total travel distance.
Click the Calculate button to generate the distances between the primary IDs you have selected.
The grid at the bottom of the dialog contains the From and To primary IDs for each travel segment, the segment Trip Distance, the Running Total distance, the Entire Trip distance, and the Distance Units. The units are set in the Units page of the Property Manager.
Click the Create Report button to create a report of travel distances. The report contains a report time and date, the distance between adjacent primary IDs in the Locations to travel to in that order list, the entire trip distance, and the units of the distance measurement. The units are set in the Units page of the Property Manager.
