Edge objects acting as container?

Jens_Dalsgaard

Hi there

The edge objects tabular line representation (without any actual line geometry) may be used to document e.g., individual fibers in a fiber cable. In this case the edge objects will be contained. You may say the edge object in this case inherits the geometry of the container.

Is it possible to have an edge object act as container containing e.g. electric cables?

Yeah I know - I could do a quick test, but asking here is quicker 😉 and might even bring knowledgeable input to me.

Jens,

Yes the rules allow this, but I believe the issue will come down to locatability. Would that Edge be connected to with a From/To JJ association to a spatial feature?

Oh, yeah - the answer is obvious with your reply, Robert. You cleared my vision. Thanks.

And Mike - we're not immediately planning on connecting the edge object to any features in the map. The immediate objective is to group line features. But now that you've asked, I think I should ask Elvia about this. It would actually be obvious to connect this edge object to assembly features delineating it (using JJCA's).

Thank you guys for swift answers. See, got a lot more out of asking than looking myself 😉

Yes, an edge object can contain a domain line feature. A common example of this is that a conduit (Structure Edge Object), contained by a conduit system (Structure Line), can contain a Conductor (Electric Line). Mike's point on locatibility is important, so you'd either want your edge object to be contained in or connected to a spatial object.

You can find the full matrix of what is allowed for connectivity, attachment, and containment associations on this page: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/utility-network/feature-restrictions.htm .
