When I move one the line moves with it.&nbsp; If I disconnect it and move it, the junction moves and the line stays put but a new junction appears.&nbsp; I can delete the junction and that works with no new junction taking its place.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">Does anyone know if being able to use the merge tool in a geometric network is a new feature and if so should it be leaving the network junctions behind?&nbsp; </SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have many transmission lines that have many arcs per line and would like to merge them into one arc per transmission line.&nbsp; I intend to do so but I’m not sure if I should be deleting the junctions that are left behind.</SPAN></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 29 Jan 2016 16:04:26 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-merge-arcs-in-a-geometric-network/m-p/74232#M4295 MikeCasey 2016-01-29T16:04:26Z
