Functional description:	The command transforms a vector lines or polylines, made by some of CAD tools, into TeleCAD-GIS route.

Convert to Route command is used to transform vector line or vector polyline into a TCG route.

Whether it is line or polyline being transformed into a TCG route, the result is always "Line" type object.
This means that the result is as many route segments as the starting objects, if the "Line" type objects were transformed into a TCG route.
By transforming a "Polyline" type object more route segments are created, depending on how zigzagged the "Polyline" object was.

During the transforming, the newly created TCG routes are assigned properties defined through system settings.

Conversion to route is used if there is a vector survey plan with a trench/conduit/cable route where the plan itself was not previously processed in TeleCAD-GIS.

Procedure

From the main menu run Routing > Convert to Route command.
The cursor is shown as a small rectangle with the message beside it reading "Select objects (lines, polylines) to convert:".
We select polylines (in the example the polylines are pink).
(Multiple objects may be selected.)

Figure 1

Once all the polylines that are to be transformed into a TCG route are selected,
the command is executed by right-clicking or by pressing ENTER key.

The polylines are transformed into TCG routes.
The newly created routes are assigned with properties defined in system settings.

The process of transforming vector lines into TCG routes is now complete.
The newly created routes are now the same as if drawn by using Draw Route command.
