Validate Network Topology (Trace Network)

ArcGIS Pro 3.4 | | Help archive

Summary

Validates the network topology of a trace network. Validation of the network topology is necessary after edits have been made to network attributes or the geometry of features in the network.

Usage

  • Inconsistencies between feature spatial edits and the network topology are marked with dirty areas.

  • The network topology must be enabled.

  • Invalid geometries encountered during the validate process will be included as error features in the Point Error and Line Error feature classes grouped under the trace network layer in the Contents pane.

  • When working with an enterprise geodatabase, the input trace network must be from a trace network service.

  • When working with an enterprise geodatabase, only a single session can execute the validation operation at a time in the default version.

  • License:
    Organization members must be assigned a license for the ArcGIS Advanced Editing user type extension to use this tool in an enterprise deployment.

Parameters

LabelExplanationData Type
Input Trace Network

The trace network for which the network topology will be validated.

When working with an enterprise geodatabase, the input trace network must be from a trace network service.

Trace Network; Trace Network Layer
Extent
(Optional)

The geographical extent used to validate the network topology.

  • Current Display Extent Map View—The extent will be based on the active map or scene.
  • Draw Extent Square and Finish—The extent will be based on a rectangle drawn on the map or scene.
  • Extent of a Layer Layer—The extent will be based on an active map layer. Choose an available layer or use the Extent of data in all layers option. Each map layer has the following options:

    • All Features Select All—The extent of all features.
    • Selected Features Area from Selected Features—The extent of the selected features.
    • Visible Features Extent Indicator—The extent of visible features.

  • Browse Browse—The extent will be based on a dataset.
  • Intersection of Inputs Intersect—The extent will be the intersecting extent of all inputs.
  • Union of Inputs Union—The extent will be the combined extent of all inputs.
  • Clipboard Paste—The extent can be copied to and from the clipboard.
    • Copy Extent Copy—Copies the extent and coordinate system to the clipboard.
    • Paste Extent Paste—Pastes the extent and coordinate system from the clipboard. If the clipboard does not include a coordinate system, the extent will use the map’s coordinate system.
  • Reset Extent Reset—The extent will be reset to the default value.

When coordinates are manually provided, the coordinates must be numeric values and in the active map's coordinate system. The map may use different display units than the provided coordinates. Use a negative value sign for south and west coordinates.
