Summary
Exports the diagram layer definition currently set up for the input diagram layer into a network diagram layer definition file (.ndld).
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.
The input network diagram layer 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.
The tool creates an output network diagram layer definition file (.ndld). The definition file stores all layer and labelling properties of each layer under the input network diagram layer. The Import Diagram Template Definitions tool can be used to apply the template across other layers so that they display in the same way.
Since this tool works from an input network diagram layer in the active map, it can be used in ArcGIS Pro only.
