Find routes

Routes contain valuable measurement information. Finding a route allows you to provide a measure value without having to know the exact coordinates of the route. The Find Routes pane is available when there is an m-aware linear layer in the map. You can access the Find Routes pane through the Linear Referencing contextual tab.

Note:

The Find Routes pane currently supports simple features.

Open the Find Routes pane

To open the Find Routes pane, complete the following steps:

1. Add an m-aware layer to the map.

   The Linear Referencing contextual tab displays.

2. Click the Linear Referencing contextual tab and within the Navigate section, click Find Routes.

The Find Routes pane appears.

Find route records

To access the Find Routes pane, the active map must contain an m-aware linear feature.

1. Open the Find Routes pane.
2. Click the Route Reference drop-down arrow and select a layer.
3. Click the Route Identifier drop-down arrow and select a field.

   Note:

   This field can be numeric, text, or GUID.

4. Click the Route drop-down arrow and select a value.
5. Optionally, set the type as Point or Line.
   • For Point, select Point and provide a Location value.
   • For Line, select Line and provide a From value and a To value.
6. Click Find Routes.

   If any route features meet the specified conditions, a route record is returned.

   Note:

   Simple datasets do not enforce monotonic routes or unique route identifiers. When a dataset has two routes with the same route ID, two records will be returned in the Find Routes pane. Using the OID, you can identify which record needs to be updated.

Find Routes record options

The following commands are available within the record:

• Flash Route—Temporarily display the entire route.
• Zoom to Route—Zoom to display the entire route.
• Pop-up—Display the pop-up of the record. The Pop-up command is located within More Options.

Note:

To persist the selection of the route record instead of Flash Route, click the route record.
