Query Wizard Step through the wizard to create queries

Exports Object Lister allows you to export to third party applications Create a list of objects in Word etc.

The Explorer tab Lists “sets” of objects from various sources Search results Map selection

The Network Trace tab Allows you to show a route through a network Trace out from a starting point Trace a shortest path between two points Works with different “manifolds” Requires good underlying network data – may not work everywhere!

The Network Trace tab Click on the map to place start, end and block nodes Run the trace Map updates to show the route Object Lister shows traced objects

The Network Trace tab Green line style shows the trace route Use View > Clear > Clear Trace to clear down the map
