Report gaps
Report gaps command creates a list of locations where there are no tie lines for given types of corrections.
The gaps found in active tie lines are displayed in a dialog. The user controls of the dialog let you sort the list of gaps in different ways, show the location of a gap, and rebuild the list after changes have been made to the tie lines.
To create a report of gaps between tie lines:
1. Select Report gaps command from the Tools pulldown menu.
This opens the Report gaps dialog:
2. Define settings and click OK.

Gap type |
Determines which locations are defined as gaps: •Xy - places with no tie lines for XY correction. •Xy longitudinal - places with no tie lines for XY correction along the travel direction. •Xy perpendicular - places with no tie lines for XY correction perpendicular to the travel direction. •Z - places with no tie lines for Z correction. |
Gap length |
Maximum allowed distance between tie lines. If the distance is bigger, it is reported as a gap. |
This opens another Report Gaps dialog which shows the list of gaps:
The list contains the chain (trajectory) number, the position of the gap along the chain, and the length of the gap.
You can use the options in the Sort by list to sort the list:
•Chain and position - primarily by the chain number, secondarily by increasing positions along the chain.
•Chain and length - primarily by the chain number, secondarily by decreasing lengths of the gaps.
•Length - by decreasing lengths of the gaps.
Show location - highlights the location of a gap. Select a row in the list and click on the button. Move the mouse pointer inside a CAD file view. This highlights the selected gap by drawing a temporary dashed line. Place a data click in order to center the view at the gap’s center point.
Rebuild list - recomputes gaps after tie lines have been changed, for example, after new tie lines were added.
