Shortest Path/Network topology

[Anonymous]

I created a network topology and did a "shortest path" between two points
and made that its own topology now I want to be able to get the distance of
that shortest path (topology) using VBA or lisp. If I go to 'Topology
Administration' and click the statistics button I can see the total distance
but I can't write that value out to anything. HELP!

Patrick hi,

I am not sure about VBA or Lisp, but if you made your result "Short Path"
into a permanent topology then you have all it's objects and a simple Map
Query and Report
can give you the answer to what you need. You can calculate sums in Excel,
for example.

Hope this helps,
Arad

Patrick,

The best bet is to write your own network tracing program in AutoLISP, using the
topology handling functions available in AutoLISP. It will help you to get the
trace information (Like the total length of the trace, the IDs of all network
segments that comprise the trace, all the nodes through which the trace passes.)
