It would be great if the “display flow arrows” and “set flow direction” get available

ArcGIS Pro 2.5: How to display flow arrows and set flow direction in the utility network,

[JamalNUMAN]

How about 3.0?

This is a very valuable function that our guys in the field use daily, going from the geometric network to utility network almost seems like going backwards in this instance. Is there any update on the status of adding flow direction?

[JamesRains]

We are currently making the move to the Utility Network with our Electric, Water, & Wastewater systems. Flow Direction Arrows are a huge part of how we do business currently in ArcMap with the Geometric Network. This definitely needs to be an available option in the UN moving forward. 

@DavidCrawford @MelissaJarman @KoryKramer has there been any movement towards adding this functionality to the UN in Pro?

@AyanPalit I have seen that flow direction is available on a Trace Network. However, we have a Utility Network and flow direction is not available. 

To my knowledge, you can not have both networks on the same database. The functionality and detail of the UN is why we chose to go that route. Having flow direction is still very necessary, especially in our Electric System, and needs to be a part of the UN.

@JamalNUMAN I'm guessing you still haven't heard or seen anything regarding flow arrows in the UN? 

@KoryKramer @DavidCrawford @MelissaJarman @AyanPalit - We are in ArcGIS Pro 3.4 and this thread is going on 5 years now. Any progress with adding flow direction arrows to the Utility Network (not the Trace Network)?

[JamesRains]

Hate to be the squeaky wheel here, but has this problem moved any further towards implementation? I know it's been "under consideration" since 3-22-2021 yet nothing has made it to any of the previous releases. This is a critical workflow for our electric utility, which worked great in ArcMap, and would make my editors work so much easier. An update on this would be nice.

[BraydenSAuten]

@JamesRains Thank you for being a squeaky wheel on this as it is also an important workflow for our electric utility.  We feel like it is a needed element within the utility network. @AyanPalit

I agree its a necessary function. i wouldn't be opposed to esri providing a geoprocessing tool that flips lines in direction or trace result on downstream trace. Just a thought. @AyanPalit
