Delete a network diagram

A network diagram can be deleted using the Delete Diagram command at the bottom of the Find Diagrams pane, , or by executing the Delete Diagram geoprocessing tool.

The workflow below explains how to delete diagrams from the Find Diagrams pane.

Requirements and prerequisites

The requirements and prerequisites to delete network diagrams are as follows:

• Since this operation is transactional, edits must be saved before it is run.
• This operation must be executed from either a utility network or trace network in a file geodatabase, a utility network service, or a trace network service. When working with a utility network or trace network in an enterprise geodatabase, the input must be from a service.
• When working with a utility network or trace network in an enterprise geodatabase, any user can delete any network diagram he owns and any public diagrams. The only exceptions are subnetwork system diagrams related to a utility network. For those diagrams, the portal utility network owner is the only profile who has deletion rights on them.
• When working with a utility network in a file geodatabase, the utility network might have been created without the utility network owner. In this situation, the only way to delete subnetwork system diagrams is to disable the network topology. This makes all subnetwork system diagrams to be no longer flagged as system diagrams and so allows their deletions.

Delete diagrams using the Find Diagrams pane

To delete network diagrams from the Find Diagrams pane, complete the following steps:

1. Open a map view that references either a network diagram layer or a utility network or trace network layer.
2. Click the network diagram layer or the utility network or trace network layer in the Contents pane so the Network Diagram contextual tab or the utility network or trace network contextual tab set becomes available.
3. Click Find either on the Data tab of the utility network or trace network tab set or on the Network Diagram contextual tab.

   In both cases, the Find Diagrams pane appears. As explained in Search for network diagrams in the database, the Find Diagrams pane offers various functions to refine a diagram search.

4. Set up the pane options you need—for example, zoom in on the map part of the diagrams you want to delete and make sure the Cover parts of the active map extent option is checked.
5. Click Refresh at the bottom of the list, to get the diagram list refreshed accordingly.
6. Click the diagram item or items you are interested in so it becomes checked in the list and click Delete Diagrams at the bottom of the pane, .

   Tip:

   To delete several diagrams, press Shift and click each diagram item you want to delete before clicking Delete Diagrams.

The selected diagram items disappear from the list.

Note:

The Delete Diagram button at the bottom of the Find Diagrams pane is disabled in the following situations:

• When the diagram selected in the list is neither public nor owned by you.
• When working with a utility network, and there are subnetwork system diagrams selected in the list, and the portal utility network owner is the not the one connected to the portal.
