Create Diagram

Creates a schematic diagram.

Depending on the schematic builder, diagram creation can be based on feature layers, feature classes, object tables, a network analysis layer, or XML data.Output Location

1.    Output Location

Schematic dataset or schematic folder in which the diagram will be created.

This container must already exist.

2.    Output Diagram Name

Name of the schematic diagram to be created.

3.    Diagram Template

Schematic diagram template of the schematic diagram to be created.

4.    Input Data (optional)

The input data to generate the diagram.

The Input Data parameter specifies the elements on which the diagram generation will be based. It must be specified for most of the predefined schematic builders:

1. For diagram templates that work with the Standard builder configured to operate from a geometric network or network dataset, the Input Data parameter must at least reference a feature layer, feature class, or object table.
2. For diagram templates that work with the Network Dataset builder, the Input Data parameter must reference a unique network analysis layer. If the related network analysis is not performed, Schematics tries to perform it before using the solved analysis layer as input.
3. For diagram templates related to the XML builder, the Input Data parameter is optional when the data for the diagram generation is provided by an external component. But when no external component is defined for the builder properties, the Input Data must reference an XML file. In both cases, the input XML data must be built according to the XMLBuilderDiagram XML Schema file.
4. For diagram templates that work with the Standard builder configured to operate from custom queries, no input data is required.

For diagram templates that work with the Standard builder when it is configured to operate from a geometric network or network dataset, XML builder, and Network Dataset builder, if no input data is specified, the diagram cannot be generated.

5.    Builder Options (optional)

The schematic builder creation parameters. These parameters are required only for diagrams based on the Network Dataset builder to specify whether nodes will be merged.

1. MERGE_NODES—Specifies the network element junctions, which are taken several times along the resultant route of a route analysis to be represented by a single schematic feature node in the generated schematic diagram. It also allows you to merge midspanjunction elements when they are at the same position in a service area analysis.
2. NO_MERGE_NODES—Specifies that no schematic feature node will be merged (default).

Update Diagram

Updates a schematic diagram.

Depending on the schematic builder, the diagram update can be based on feature layers, feature classes, object tables, a solved network analysis, or an XML file.

1.    Input Schematic Diagram

The schematic diagram layer to be updated.

2.    Input Data (optional)

The input data on which the diagram update will be based.

The Input Data parameter is not required for all predefined builders; it's an optional parameter:

1. For diagram templates that work with the Standard builder configured to operate from custom queries, no input tables must be set.
2. For diagram templates that work with the XML builder, the Input Data parameter must reference an XML file.
3. For diagram templates that work with the Network Dataset builder, the input data must be specified. It must reference a unique network analysis layer. If the related network analysis is not performed, Schematics tries to perform it before using the solved analysis layer as input.
4. For diagram templates that work with the Standard builder configured to operate from a geometric network or a network dataset, when the Input Data parameter is not specified, the Update Diagram tool works from the initial set of network features/objects used to generate the diagram or from the updated geometric network trace result based on the trace parameters that persisted in the schematic database if the diagram was generated from a highlighted trace. When the Input Data parameter is specified, it must reference at least a feature layer, feature class, or object table so the update operates on this data according to the Builder Options value.

3.    Builder Options (optional)

The schematic builder update options. Update options are optional. They depend on the builder related to the diagram template that implements the specified schematic diagram:

1. Diagrams generated from custom queries (Standard builder): KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF, NO_KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF, or REFRESH.
2. Diagrams generated from XML data (XML builder): KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF or NO_KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF.
3. Diagrams generated from solver results on network datasets (Network Dataset builder): NO_MERGE_NODES;KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF, NO_MERGE_NODES;NO_KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF, MERGE_NODES;KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF or MERGE_NODES;NO_KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF.
4. Diagrams generated from features organized into a geometric network or a network dataset (Standard builder):

• When the Input Data parameter is not specified—KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF, NO_KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF, or REFRESH
• When the Input Data parameter is specified—REBUILD;KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF, REBUILD;NO_KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF, APPEND;KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF, APPEND;NO_KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF, APPEND_QUICK;KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF or APPEND_QUICK;NO_KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF

1. KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF—Default option for diagram based on the XML builder or on the Standard builder when no input data is set. Use it to synchronize the input diagram content either against the original selection/trace/query used to initially generate this diagram—Standard diagram—or from an updated version of the XML input data initially used to generate it—XML diagram—whereas the schematic features that may have been manually removed/reduced/reconnected are kept in the updated diagram.
2. NO_KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF—Option available for diagrams based on the XML builder or on the Standard builder when no input data is set. Use it to synchronize the input diagram content either against the original selection/trace/query used to initially generate this diagram—Standard diagram—or from an updated version of the XML input data initially used to generate it—XML diagram—whereas the schematic features that may have been manually removed/reduced/reconnected are restored in the updated diagram.
3. REFRESH—Option available for diagrams based on the Standard builder when no input data is set. Use it to simply refresh the attributes for all schematic features in the input diagram to the current state of the related network features in the geometric network or network dataset feature classes.
4. REBUILD;KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF—Default option available for diagrams based on the Standard builder when input data is set. Use this option if you want the input diagram to be completely rebuilt according to the specified input feature layers, feature classes, or object tables, whereas the schematic features that may have been manually removed/reduced/reconnected are kept in the updated diagram.
5. REBUILD;NO_KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF—Option available for diagrams based on the Standard builder when input data is set. Use this option if you want the input diagram to be completely rebuilt according to the specified input feature layers, feature classes, or object tables, whereas the schematic features that may have been manually removed/reduced/reconnected are restored in the updated diagram.
6. APPEND;KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF—Option available for diagrams based on the Standard builder when input data is set. Use this option if you want to append schematic features associated with the specified input feature layers, feature classes, or object tables with a full synchronization of the input diagram content, whereas the schematic features that may have been manually removed/reduced/reconnected are kept in the updated diagram.
7. APPEND;NO_KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF—Option available for diagrams based on the Standard builder when input data is set. Use this option if you want to append schematic features associated with the specified input feature layers, feature classes, or object tables with a full synchronization of the input diagram content, whereas the schematic features that may have been manually removed/reduced/reconnected are restored in the updated diagram.
8. APPEND_QUICK;KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF—Option available for diagrams based on the Standard builder when input data is set. Use this option if you want to append schematic features associated with the specified input feature layers, feature classes, or object tables with a partial synchronization of the input diagram content, whereas the schematic features that may have been manually removed/reduced/reconnected are kept in the updated diagram.
9. APPEND_QUICK;NO_KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF—Option available for diagrams based on the Standard builder when input data is set. Use this option if you want to append schematic features associated with the specified input feature layers, feature classes, or object tables with a partial synchronization of the input diagram content, whereas the schematic features that may have been manually removed/reduced/reconnected are restored in the updated diagram.
10. NO_MERGE_NODES;KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF—Default option for diagrams based on the Network Dataset builder. Use this option to update the input diagram from the specified solved network analysis layer without merging nodes that occur several times in this layer, whereas the schematic features that may have been manually removed/reduced/reconnected are kept in the updated diagram.
11. NO_MERGE_NODES;NO_KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF—Option available for diagrams based on the Network Dataset builder. Use this option to update the input diagram from the specified solved network analysis layer without merging nodes that occur several times in this layer, whereas the schematic features that may have been manually removed/reduced/reconnected are restored in the updated diagram.
12. MERGE_NODES;KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF—Option available for diagrams based on the Network Dataset builder. Use it to update the input diagram from the specified solved network analysis layer and merge nodes that occur several times in this layer, whereas the schematic features that may have been manually removed/reduced/reconnected are kept in the updated diagram.
13. MERGE_NODES;NO_KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF—Option available for diagrams based on the Network Dataset builder. Use it to update the input diagram from the specified solved network analysis layer and merge nodes that occur several times in this layer, whereas the schematic features that may have been manually removed/reduced/reconnected are restored in the updated diagram.

Update Diagrams

Updates schematic diagrams stored in a schematic dataset or schematic folder.

All diagrams or a subset of diagrams (for example, diagrams related to a specific diagram template or diagrams that have not been updated for a particular number of days) can be updated.

Only diagrams based on the Standard builder—that is, diagrams built from features organized into a geometric network or network dataset and schematic diagrams built from custom queries—can be updated using this geoprocessing tool. Diagrams based on the Network Dataset builder and XML builder that require specific input data cannot be updated using this tool.

If a diagram based on the XML or Network Dataset builder is detected during the execution, an error is displayed, and the process is stopped.

1.    Input Schematic Container

The schematic dataset or schematic folder in which the diagrams are stored. This container must already exist.

2.    Builder Options (optional)

The schematic builder update options. They are optional.

1. KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF—Default option. Use it if you want the schematic features that have been removed/reduced from the diagram not to reappear and the edited connections to be kept in the updated diagram. This is the default.
2. NO_KEEP_MANUAL_MODIF—Use it if you want the removed/reduced schematic features and reconnected schematic feature links to be restored after the update.
3. REFRESH—Use it to simply refresh the attributes for all schematic features in the input diagram to the current state of the related network features in the geometric network or network dataset feature classes.
4. RESYNC_FROM_GUID—Use this particular option if you want to resynchronize the schematic related network feature/object information based on GUIDs. This option must be used to avoid errors or data corruption when diagrams are updated while user data has been dropped and reloaded since their generations. Note that when using this option, the process works on the GUIDs to try to reattach the schematic features in the diagrams to their expected related network features/objects, but the diagram contents are not updated when the process ends. Once the reattachment is done, the real update can be launched.

3.    Recursive Search (optional)

1. Checked—Search recursively in subfolders.
2. Unchecked—Do not search recursively in subfolders.

4.    Diagram Template (optional)

The diagram template of the schematic diagram to update.

5.    Number of days without update (optional)

The number of days between diagram updates. The default is zero (0), meaning all diagrams will be updated daily.
