Rotate Valves to match connecting line

TimHayes1

I have a point feature class (isolation valves). I am using ArcGIS 10.2.2.

Each valve is on a line (pipe). The line is split at the valve.

I want to rotate the valves to match the orientation of the connecting line.

When I tried using the rotation tools in the Water Utility Network Editor Toolbar it does not rotate the valves. The older version from years ago was able to do this. But, the issue seems to be due to the fact that the line is split at the valve.

Any ideas on how to get the points to match the orientation of the line?

Tim,

Those extra parameters would go in the ValueInfo field of the DynamicValue table, see screen shot attached.

What version of the add in? There was an issue similar to this last year I believe.

TimHayes1

The version I am using is Utility Network Editing A4W - Oct 2015.

MikeMillerGIS

Try the most recent version, should be fixed in there.

TimHayes1

I downloaded and installed the most recent version of the Utility Network Editor. Tried to rotate the valves, still get the same results. The Feature Class is in a Version of a SQL-Server Enterprise Geodatabase. My data is not in a Geometric Network, but the pipes are split at each valve. The valves and lines are snapped, no topology errors.

Here is the result when I choose Rotate Selected Junctions:

Here is the result when I choose Add Rotation to Features:

Have you made any headway on this issue? I am having a similar problem rotating fittings. I've been using AA for years (with the same exact rule for symbol rotation) but after upgrading to 10.4.1 and AA version 7.15.2016 the Junction_Rotation method is not working as expected, instead it writes 0 for the rotation value.

RobBlash

Based on Tim's comments and my own experimenting it seems like the rotation is not working as expected where the line is split.

MikeMillerGIS

It is a bug only when using the junction_rotate method on non-geometric network features. There is a workaround, add the layers to the rule. The code was checking the last parameter as an empty string, but it was being pass as null.

workaround:

ex: g|0||Pipes

Mike,

This does not work (my parameters are G|0|Diameter|wMain). Also when I try the "Rotate Selected Junctions" button on the Water Utility Network Editing toolbar I get the same results (0 rotation when the intersecting lines are split, or expected behavior when they're not split. Also my data is in a geometric network.

Thanks,

Rob

Tims issue was related to data not in the network.

MikeMillerGIS

I cannot repo your issue with geometric data. Have you tried it with a empty value info?

RobBlash

Yes, with the same results. I can send you some data or do a gotomeeting session to show you what's happening on my end. FWIW this is happening in several GDBs for different projects I'm workign on, so I don't think it's a data issue.

TimHayes1

Can you walk me through this or point me to a source that can help? how do I add it to the rule? and where would insert that tidbit of code you suggest?

MikeMillerGIS

That is the value info I posted, just add it there.

TimHayes1

Sorry to be pesky, but add it where? the config file?

I am trying to rotate sewer taps to line up with sewer lateral lines. They keep rotating to match up with the sewer mains. The only way I can get it to work the way I want is to draw the lateral first then the sewer tap. If I draw the tap first on the main then the lateral it lines up with the main not the lateral. I am using attribute assistant and running the rule manually. Does anyone have any ideas of why this is happening? Thanks in advance
