Moving a Junction in ArcMap Without Shifting the Entire Line ?

JokerEsri

Hello ,

I am using the Move tool from Editor (start editing ) in ArcMap (Esri) to shift the X-coordinate of the junction geometry by 0.5 .

However, when I move the junction, the entire connected line also shifts.

I want to move the junction while only adjusting the first segment of the connected line up to the first vertex, without affecting the rest of the line.

1) How can I ensure that only the first segment moves while keeping the rest of the line unchanged ?

I noticed that in some cases, after moving the junction, it became connected to both the original cables and the parallel cables.

2) How can I ensure that when I move the junction, it will not become connected to the parallel cables as well?

Thanks in advance .

Hi Joker -

I assume you're using a geometric network here, true?   If so, that's the way the software works.   A junction is the endpoint of all lines connected to the junction.  If you move the junction the endpoints of the line move.

Depending on exactly what you wan to do, you may be able to insert a vertex (or vertices) on either side of the junction, so when you move the junction only that, and the small segments between your new vertex and the junction will move.

Adding a screen shot may help other better understand exactly what you are trying to do.
