TIAH User Interface
Main TIAH functions can be access via a drop-down menu at the top of the AutoCAD menu bar as well as through a "floating" user interface (a dialog box with command buttons) invoked by selecting "Main Toolbox" from TIAH's drop-down menu.
The following briefly introduced the key aspects of the TIAH user interface and provides links to more information for each available menu selection. .
TIAH Drop-Down Menu
A successful installation of TIAH will create a "TIAH" menu on the AutoCAD menu bar. The TIAH menu, when clicked, will "drop-down" to reveal individual menu items:
Currently available TIAH commands are:
TIAH Main Toolbox - Starts the import process by launching the TIAH toolbox
Intersection Switch - Launches a small toolbox allowing the user to change the type of intersection block being used for one or more specified intersections present in the current layout.
Layout Organizer - a tool that provides TIAH users with the ability to manage Layouts efficiently and to generate useful reports on the contents of the intersection exhibits - this is a "TIAH-aware" reporting and layout manipulation tool.
Global Layout Notes - Opens up a text report with user notes associated with all the Layouts and Model space in the current drawing. User notes are entered ⁄ maintained via the Layout Organizer interface.
Street Names - Launches a dialog box where the user can visually inspect and edit the street names associated with each intersection in the layout.
TIAH Spinner - Provides an interface tool to rotate individual intersection blocks
Zero Volumes Toggle - Causes the arrows and zeros ("0")) to be displayed or hidden for movements with no traffic.
Intersection ID Toggle - Toggles the intersection ID (which is exported to the volume text file by the originating program) "on" and "off" for quality checking and printing.
