Summary
Adds a new diagram template to a network. Both a network diagram rule and layout definitions file (.ndbd) and a network diagram layer definition file (.ndld) can be imported.
Caution:
This tool is a configuration and administration tool.
Usage
This tool is not supported when working with a utility network service. You must work with either a utility network or trace network in a file geodatabase or a database connection to a utility network in an enterprise geodatabase. When working with an enterprise geodatabase, the connection must be established as the database utility network owner.
When performing this operation on a utility network in an enterprise geodatabase, the connected ArcGIS Enterprise portal account must be the portal utility network owner.
The network data element specified for the input network parameter must be from either a utility network or trace network in a file geodatabase or a database connection to a utility network in an enterprise geodatabase.
Adding a new diagram template to a specified input network will create a template with no particular settings.
When the tool executes with either no .ndld file or an empty .ndld file in input, the tool process automatically initializes a default diagram layer definition on the newly created template.
Syntax
AddDiagramTemplate(in_utility_network, template_name, {ndbd_file}, {ndld_file})| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_utility_network | The utility network or trace network to which the template will be added. | Utility Network; Trace Network |
template_name | The name of the output diagram template. | String |
ndbd_file (Optional) | The network diagram rule and layout definitions file (.ndbd) to import. This file can be created using the Export Diagram Template Definitions tool on an existing template. | File |
ndld_file (Optional) | The diagram layer definition file (.ndld) to import. This file can be created using the Export Diagram Template Definitions or Export Diagram Layer Definition tool on an existing template. When this parameter is not specified or loads an empty .ndld file, a default diagram layer definition is systematically initialized on the input diagram template. | File |
Derived Output
| Name | Explanation | Data Type |
| out_utility_network | The updated utility network or trace network. | Utility Network; Trace Network |
| out_template_name | The name of the diagram template. | String |
Code sample
Add a new diagram template called MyTemplate1 to a given network.
import arcpy
input_Network = "D:/MyProjectLocation/MyDatabaseConnection.sde/MyDatabase.MAP.Electric/MyDatabase.MAP.Electric"
input_DiagramTemplate = "MyTemplate1"
arcpy.AddDiagramTemplate_nd(input_Network, input_DiagramTemplate)Environments
