Explorer View

The Explorer View gives you an organized view into you project and permits several useful functions:

Activates the Properties Window to show data on any(or multiple) items selected
Permits several right-click menu choices, depending on the item selected. To best demonstrate these, these will be discussed by item type

Root Node, labeled as Street/Lead

Right-click menu choices

Refresh - forces an update of the explorer tree to ensure it reflects the most current configuration. The explorer tree listens for relevant changes in the data and updates automatically. But in case you believe it missed a change, or you want to be extra sure, just use this menu option.
Copy - at this level the copy function will copy the entire Design for use within Quick Pole only.
Paste - enables the pasting of any individual or collection of items from a Design. Pasting from the same Design will result in the structures being offset by 10 meters in a northerly and easterly direction. This is similar to the duplicate function in many drawing programs so that you can observe the pasting was completed successfully and so you can distinguish them from the originals.
Delete - will delete all items in this Design. A confirmation Dialog will appear to confirm you want to do this as it cannot be undone without reverting to a backup file or aborting the Save Design process.
Select Error Structures - Select all structures that have errors.
Select User-Flagged Structures - Select all structures that are flagged by the user (useful for later follow-up)

Street/Lead Node

Right-click menu choices:

Select All on Street - Selects all location nodes listed under this node in the Explorer View. It does not select them in the Work Plan View, but does enable the Properties Window to display commonality among items.
Copy - Copies all location items under this node for use with Quick Pole only.
Delete - Deletes all items under this node.

Location Node

This node is the top-level node for all things at this location, showing the location of the structure and all things connected. By default the activated Properties Window shows the properties for the structure so that you don't need to open this location item node tree and specifically select the structure node in order to see the properties.

Right-click menu choices:

Edit Structure - Activates the Structure Window where you can edit, analyze, report, export just this structure.
Change Structure Type - Convenience option that is sometimes useful after an import of data where the type of structure could have been missing or incorrect.
Structure CSV Exports - Available for one or more selected locations, this brings up a Dialog that allows you to directly initiate a CSV export of data function.
Structure Reports -Available for one or more selected locations, this brings up a Dialog that allows you to directly generate Structure reports.
Cut - Cut the structure at this location. Will be removed from the Design after a successful Paste within Quick Pole.
Copy - Copy the structure at this location.
Paste - Paste the structure that has previously been Cut or Copied. If multiple structures are ready to be pasted, spans that are common between them will also be pasted.
Delete - Delete the structure at this location. Connected spans will also be deleted.

Structure Node

This node covers the structure itself.

The right-click options include most of the same menu choices as those at the location node. Refer to the location node for an explanation of these menu choices.

Hardware Collection Node

This node contains a list of hardware attached to this structure along with a count of the number of items in the collection. There is only one right-click menu choice that shows a couple basic properties.

Selecting an individual hardware node populates the Properties window and the one right-click menu item shows the collection node's properties in a separate window.

Angle/Span Collection Node

This node contains a list of spans or attachment directions at this structure along with a count of the number of items in the collection. The one right-click menu item shows the collection node's properties in a separate window

Span Node - Attachment Collection Node

This node contains a collection of all items attached to this structure and going in a specific direction for a certain distance. The more angles with span attachments leaving a structure, the more Span Nodes there will be. The list of attachments could be as simple a list of guy wires attached to a specific anchor. Attachments between structures will most certainly have a Span Node, while Point Loads are a special case that is also implemented as a span from this structure to itself.

There is a single right-click menu item that can be used to activate the Span Editor Window, where the span attachments can be easily edited, deleted or augmented.

Attachments Node

The Attachment Node identifies a single attachment to the structure and its selection populates the properties window. The one right-click menu item shows the attachment node's properties in a separate window

Anchor Collection Node

This node contains a collection of all anchors attached to this structure, with a count of the number of items in its description. The one right-click menu item shows the anchor collection node's properties in a separate window.

Selecting an anchor node below this has only one right-click menu choice, and that is to bring up a separate properties window. As with other nodes, the properties window on the right-hand side will populate as soon as this item is selected. However, this does allow you to keep and move this information while you perform other functions.

Building Collection Node

This node contains a collection of all buildings in this Design attached to this structure, with a count of the number of items in its description.

There are two right-click menu options:

Copy - Copies the whole collection of buildings
Delete - Deletes all buildings in this Design

Building Node

A building node is treated like any other structure. Selecting one will auto-populate the fixed properties window on the right-hand side. There are three right-click menu options you can do with an individual building node.

Cut - Cut this building
Copy - Copy this building
Delete - Delete this building

Mid Span Taps Collection Node

This node contains a collection of all mid span taps in this Design attached to this structure, with a count of the number of items in its description.

There are two right-click menu options:

Copy - Copies the whole collection of mid span taps
Delete - Deletes all mid span taps in this Design

Mid Span Tap

A mid span tap node is treated like a structure. Selecting one will auto-populate the fixed properties window on the right-hand side. There are three right-click menu options you can do with an individual mid span tap node.

Cut - Cut this mid span tap
Copy - Copy this mid span tap
Delete - Delete this mid span tap
