Auto Layout

Changes the map placement of the node(s) based on the spring layout algorithm for node placement. This algorithm uses the visible area of the network view as the map boundary. If you have multiple nodes in your network, you might need to zoom out until all nodes are within the visible area. If you are using a disconnected graph, do not exclude nodes from the Auto Layout. A disconnected graph contains at least two nodes that are not linked by a path.

Collapse/Expand Links

Collapses or expands the links selected in the dialog box. Depending on the node configuration, you can select DCC, GCC, or OSC. This option can also be selected from the icon (second icon from the far right) on the network view toolbar. For more information, see Link Icons.

Show Link Icons

If checked, displays the link icons. An icon representing DCC (curl), GCC (lambda), OTS (>>), or PPC (lambda with a hand) appears. For more information, see Link Icons.

Save Node Position

Saves the map placement of the node(s).

Reset Node Position

Changes the node map placement to the last saved x and y coordinates based on the Save Node Position operation. If Save Node Position was not used, the node map placement is based on the longitude and latitude setting in the Node View > Provisioning > General > General tab.

Help

Displays CTC context-sensitive help.
