Reverse Line Orders (Location Referencing)

Available with Location Referencing license.

Summary

Reverses the line order for all the routes in a line.

Illustration

This diagram shows the reversed line orders for routes in a line.

Usage

• Use a line network feature class registered with an LRS Network or a line network feature service as input to the tool.

• Select at least one route for the line whose line order values must be reversed before running the tool. The tool reverses the line order for all the routes in the line.

• If only a few routes are selected within a given time range, the line order of all routes that overlap with the selected routes time range will be reversed.

• After running this tool, route time slices may be created for routes (with different time ranges) where line orders were reversed. Run the Generate Events tool to update the events on the routes that include those line orders.

• After running this tool, run the Generate Routes tool to update the derived network based on the reversed line order values.

• The tool supports conflict prevention and will attempt to acquire and transfer locks.

Code sample

ReverseLineOrders example 1 (stand-alone script)

This Python stand-alone sample shows the ReverseLineOrders function.

# Name: ReverseLineOrder.py
# Description: Reverses the Line Order for all the routes within a line.
# Requires: ArcGIS Location Referencing

# Import arcpy module
import arcpy

# Check out license
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("LocationReferencing")

## Map the input LRS route network from the feature service. Here, 1 corresponds to the input LRS route network.
in_route_features = r"https://yourdomain.com/server/rest/services/FeatureServiceName/FeatureServer/1"

## Process: Select Layer by attribute as required
arcpy.management.SelectLayerByAttribute(in_route_features, "NEW_SELECTION", "RouteID = 'routeid1'")

# Process : Reverse Line Order.
arcpy.locref.ReverseLineOrder(in_route_features)

# Check in license
arcpy.CheckInExtension('LocationReferencing')

ReverseLineOrders example 2 (Python)

This Python sample shows the ReverseLineOrders function.

# Name: ReverseLineOrders_sample.py
# Description: Reverses the Line Order for all the routes within a line.
# Requires: ArcGIS Location Referencing

# Set current workspace
arcpy.env.workspace = 'C:\Data\PipelineReferencing.gdb'

# Set local variables
in_route_features = r'C:\Data\PipelineReferencing.gdb\LRS\LineNetwork'

# Process: Select Layer by attribute as required
arcpy.management.SelectLayerByAttribute(in_route_features, "NEW_SELECTION", "RouteID = 'routeid1'")

# Call the ReverseLineOrders tool
arcpy.locref.ReverseLineOrders(in_route_features)
