Dear Mathias,
thank you for the extensive elaboration on this topic. I agree with you in the following points:
* //track/@mainDirection is not to be mixed with //track/linearLocation/@applicationDirection
* //track/@mainDirection linking with the orientation of topological netElements is unambiguous as soon as the track covers more than one netElement
* the idea of linking @mainDirection with a specific //track/linearLocation would be already an (intermediate) improvement.
Before I set up another Gitlab issue, I would like to ask the community: what are your requirements and expectations for the definition of a track's "main direction of usage"?
Best regards
Christian
