Network Analyst Flip Line direction by Order Sequence

DevinUnderwood3

I want to flip all route lines according to the orders sequence numbers.

I would then show arrows with the correct direction of travel.

I tried using the Sort tool to resort records according to the sequence number. I must be mistaken that it does not resort/flip the lines and direction.

Is there a possible way to accomplish what I am attempting to do ?

Thank You.

Thank you, it worked.

I also set the symbology to an offset so both sides of the road is showing the travel route path with arrows.

Now, I want to show route segments that do not have orders as a different grey color for example, denoting that it isn't an actual order segment.

I am not sure how a "split" of an existing line will flip parts of that line into different directions.

But, you may want to try using the Copy Traversed Source Features tool right after you solve the NA layer. It will generate all the edges that were traversed by that route and each line should be pointing into the way it was traversed by the route.

Correct, it is a single feature class that I want to be split into each road segment to display the directionality of the route.

This isn't the case, when I split the route it inherits the directionality of digitized lines.

>I want to flip all route lines according to the orders sequence numbers.

The output route from a route or VRP is a single feature class (per route) and it is already oriented in the direction of the orders sequence numbers. I do not understand your use case to "flip" these.

Thanks for the feedback, I will have to take another approach.

sorting on sequence numbers will just sort on those numbers, but as you well know, it does nothing to the geometry

I am using ArcMap and have advanced license, manual flipping one by one works fine.

I sorted on sequence numbers I obtained from routing orders.

What did you sort on? Sorting on the geometry won't flip lines.

Flip does is you have an advanced or standard licence http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/editing/flip-line.htm
