Delete calibration points

Available with Location Referencing license.

The calibration points used by ArcGIS Roads and Highways are stored in a feature class. Calibration points on a route can be deleted using either the Delete Point tool on the Location Referencing tab, or using the Delete button in the Features group, on the Edit tab, or by using attribute selection in the calibration point feature layer's attribute table.

Caution:

Before deleting a calibration point, consider whether retiring the point is more appropriate. Retiring a calibration point preserves the historical integrity and calibration of the route. Deleting a calibration point results in recalibration of the route for the time span that the calibration point was active. To retire a calibration point, use the Edit tool to change the To Date value of the calibration point.

Calibration point deletion scenario

The following examples illustrate the three steps of deletion and recalibration using the Delete tool .

Deleting a calibration point results in recalibration of the route to the nearest upstream and downstream calibration point.

First, review the calibration points and route calibration and identify a calibration point to delete. In this example, 8 is identified for deletion.

Then, delete the calibration point with a measure of 8.

Calibration is only updated to the nearest upstream and downstream calibration points on the route.

Delete using the Delete Point tool

To delete calibration points using the Delete tool, complete the following steps:

1. Click the Delete Point tool in the Calibration Points group, on the Location Referencing tab.

   Note:

   Traditionally versioned networks must be edited through a direct connection to the geodatabase. Branch versioned networks, which include networks configured with a user-generated route ID, must be edited through a feature service.

2. Select the calibration point you want to delete on the map.

   The Delete Calibration Point pane appears with attributes for the selected calibration point populated.

   Note:

   The fields in the Delete Calibration Point pane are read-only.

3. Click Run.

   The calibration point is deleted, and the route is recalibrated between the nearest upstream and downstream calibration points. A message appears in the Delete Calibration Point pane indicating that the point was successfully deleted.

   Note:

   If a message regarding acquiring locks or reconciling appears, conflict prevention is enabled.

Delete a calibration point using delete features

To delete one or more calibration points using the Delete tool, complete the following steps:

1. Add the LRS feature layers, including the calibration point and network feature layers, to a map.

   Alternatively, open a map in which the LRS feature layers are present.

2. Zoom in to the calibration point that you want to delete.
3. Optionally, on the Location Referencing tab, in the Calibration Points group, click the Event Behavior drop-down arrow and include or exclude event behaviors for manual calibration edits.
   • Exclude event behaviors for manual calibration edits —Ignore event behavior in subsequent manual edits.
   • Include event behaviors for manual calibration edits —Include event behavior in subsequent manual edits.
4. Click the calibration point that you want to delete.

   Note:

   Select multiple calibration points on the map to delete them all at once; then perform the remaining steps in this workflow. You can also delete calibration points in bulk by selecting them from the attributes table of the calibration point feature layer.

5. On the Edit tab, in the Features group, click Delete .

   The Deleting selected feature progress dialog box appears and the selected calibration point is deleted.

   Note:

   Deleting a calibration point results in recalibration of the route to the nearest upstream and downstream calibration point.

6. On the Edit tab, in the Manage Edits group, click Save Edits .
