Locate network elements associated with particular diagram features

Use the Apply To Maps command to locate and select network features and network objects in open network maps that are associated with diagram features currently selected in the active diagram.

This command is available on the Network Diagram tab when diagram features are currently selected in the active diagram.

By default, the Apply To Maps command applies to all the open network maps unless you specify only one. It performs based on the network diagrams options currently set.

To locate and select network elements associated with particular diagram features, complete the following steps:

1. Ensure that at least one map, among the maps currently open in the project, references the utility network or trace network associated with the diagram. If no map meets this requirement, do one of the following:
   • Open an existing map that references the utility network or trace network that the diagram is associated with.
   • Add the network layer the diagram comes from, including all its network source classes and object tables, to a new map.
2. Click the diagram map tab to set this diagram as the active map.
3. Select the diagram features to locate in the network map.
4. On the Network Diagram tab, click the Network Diagrams Options dialog box launcher at the lower right corner of the Selection group to open the Network Options dialog box. Then verify or set the selection options in the Propagation section:
   1. Check the Propagate reduced or collapsed elements when applying selection from or to diagram maps check box to locate and select all network features and network objects associated with the diagram features currently selected in the active diagram, including elements that are reduced or collapsed in the diagrams.

      Uncheck this check box to locate and select only network features and network objects associated with diagram features currently selected in the diagram that are not reduced or collapsed in the diagrams. In this case, only network features and network objects associated with the selected diagram features that are visibly represented in the diagrams are located and selected.

   2. Optionally, check Select spatial container(s) when propagating edge and junction objects represented in diagram map to not only select network objects in object tables referenced in the geographic map but also select their related spatial container features in the geographic map.
   3. Optionally, check Zoom to the selected resulting features to automatically zoom in on the set of features selected in the geographic map or maps.
5. Click Apply To Maps to locate the corresponding network features and network objects in all the open maps.

   

6. Alternatively, choose a map from the Apply To Maps drop-down list to locate the corresponding network features and network objects in a specific open map.

   

All the retrieved network features are selected in the network feature layers referenced in the geographic map, and all the retrieved network objects are selected in the object tables referenced in the geographic map.

Note:

This process only applies to feature layers that are selectable in the destination map. Verify that the map layers can be selected when no network features are selected or only part of the network features are selected.

Reduced or collapsed network features and network objects that are not visibly represented in the active diagram because they are aggregated are selected in the destination map only when the Propagate reduced or collapsed elements when applying selection from or to diagram maps check box is checked.

Network features and network objects related to reduction edges that are selected in the active diagram can be retrieved in the map only when the Propagate reduced or collapsed elements when applying selection from or to diagram maps check box is checked.

Explicit edges that are selected in the active diagram and represent connectivity associations in the utility network or trace network cannot be retrieved in the map, since such information is not represented in the map.
