Here is a link that might help with the matrix usage. ... View more

If you want to remove rules, I would the Export and Import Matrix tool in the Utility Network Data Management toolbox.  it would be easier to edit the spreadsheet used by these tools. ... View more

The associations created by this tool are simply added to the c_associations table in the asset package.  You can look at this table before running the tool and get the largest objectid, then after running the tool, any objectid's larger than this value are new. ... View more

The Modify Associations tool will not be available when working with an asset package.  I would recommend using the Create Utility Network Associations and then manually review it in the Asset Package to remove any non-containment associations created.  Then Run Apply Asset Package ... View more

Not attribute rules, you use UN Topology rules to define what can be associated with what.  An attribute rule, which I did not mention, could be used to populate the association. ... View more

This capability is not yet available for the Utility Network.  Also, this is something that has to be addressed across the entire software stack, not just the Utility Network.  I'm not sure what releases all the changes will be completed in.  I would recommending contacting support. ... View more

You would need to update all the subnetwork definitions and any stored traces and change the descriptions in multiple domains.   ... View more

Batch Trace can also create aggregated geometry of the trace results, like a subnetwork does.  But, these features would be stored outside of the UN. ... View more

In the Utility Network, Structural Attachments are a special kind of connection and not viewed the same as a Junction to Junction connectivity or similar.  Therefore, the connected trace will not traverse Structural Attachments.  If you have the trace option Include Structures checked, then it will return the Attached Structures, but not things in the structure network that are connected to the first attached structure feature. ...

Devices and lines are both modeling equipment.  Generally, per ISO/ANSI standard C.84 breaks equipment in to three overall groups High Voltage, Medium Voltage and Low Voltage.  High Voltage could be divided further into Extra High and Ultra High. Second is for cartographic reasons, mainly performance of scale suppression.  Generally speaking, you would want High Voltage equipment to be visible at scales larger than you would want Medium or Low Voltage equipment visible.   Third, attributes and domains assigned to attributes.  Domains can only be assigned at the Subtype or Asset Group level.  Also, attribute aliases and visibility can only be set at the Subtype or Asset Group level.   Many people come from a CIM background.  CIM is not a good cartographic model.  It's a good electrical model, but a really bad cartographic model. ...

Yes, you can use the currently released model which is 2.2.   ... View more

First, that is a very old copy of the model.  You should start with the latest model on the Solutions.arcgis.com site.   Second, you modified the domain for phases to represent phase orientation.  That will not work with phase correctly with phase tracing! Third, the line {B8C7547F-7D90-46B9-BA1D-DAA2872ACC60} is not snapped to the Attachment point   ... View more
