The Attribute Assistant does work in a versioning environment.  The only layer/table that cannot be versioned is the GenerateID table.  What errors are you experiencing?  What is not working?  Have you enabled the debug log file and review it for configuration issues?  Have you logged a tech support call? ...

Matt,     Make sure the treatment plant is connected to the network.  In the sample data, I believe the treatment plant was not connected.  If the lines are all digitized in the correct direction, a tool on the infrastructure editing toolbar will set their flow based on digitized direction.  I attached the help docs that reviews the tools. ...

You can remove that rule or fix the main so it has the diameter set. ... View more

Sounds like you have a rule changing the value in the attribute assistant.  Turn it off and see if the same thing happens.  Doe the main it is connecting to have the diameter set? ... View more

Add the source code to the most recent beta and included a VS 2008 SLN file.  If you ever need to open 2010 SLN in 2008, just open it in notepad and replace 11.00 with 10.00.  This only works if projects reference .net 3.5 and lower. http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/20000-Beta-Versions?p=158222&viewfull=1#post158222 ...

There is no help for customizing the source code.  The apps are made up a series of projects.  You should open the WaterUtilitiesNetworkEditingTemplate.sln file. ... View more

Did you ever determine the source of your problem? I just updated with the latest tools and now I no longer have the Add Site address point construction tool. I have removed and added the add-in a number of times, so not sure what I am missing. Thanks Alison,    Did you run the Construction Tools msi with an account with Admin privileged?  Also, do you have UAC turned on? ... View more

Allen,   You could create another loaded.config file for the infrastructure toolbars and set this up for your gas traces.  If you encounter issues that prevent you from using this on a gas network, let me know and we can make changes to support a isolation trace on gas. Thanks ... View more

Are you trying to update the X and Y information in the attribute table and push those changes to the point on the screen or vice-verse?  The attributes information is not connected to the shape.  If you want to update the field information, you can use the Calc Geometry tool(right click the field).  You could also download the infrastructure editing template and set up the Attribute Assistant to calc the x and y fields on the change of the shape.  This tool is an editor extension that has rules that can do what you are looking to do. ...

We have added a tool to the address toolset that create a point at road interections with intersected road names.  I can provide a beta version of this add in if you want to try it out.  Please send an email to me at mmiller@esri.com if you want a copy. ... View more

1. We have thousands of laterals, but only a few known cleanout locations that we've GPS'ed to date. Do you have cleanouts as a 'source'? A: No, You should model the treatment plant or the pump as a sink and do not set anything as a source in a sewer network.  With source and sinks you only want to set one or the other, not both. 2. Luckily, all or our data was input in the correct flow direction when the data was created in the late 90's, so the direction arrows are all correct. What I was referring to is when an influent pipe enters a manhole (junction) that has 2 effluent pipes, the wastewater takes the lowest pipe 99% of the time. Only when there is extremely high flow would it ever pass through the second pipe. So my question is how can I set up my sewer network to trace through the deepest pipe? I have invert elevations measured in sea level, it's not pipe depth. Should we be adding pipe depth to ensure the tracing in the way I described? A:  I am not 100% sure on this one.  You could disable the pipe, this would prevent it from be traced.  Try setting the enabled field to false and see what happens. 3. Back to sources and sinks, would lift stations and catch basins count as sinks? I'm a little confused on this function. Is there any websites you'd recommend I read regarding utility networks other than ESRI sites? A:  Liftstations, hard to tell without seeing your data, but I would guess no, I would try just where the system terminates, the plant.  4. Lastly, what is the Infrastructure Editing Toolbar? Where is this found? I only have the Utility Network Analyst toolbar. A: http://www.arcgis.com/rc/item.html?id=14bdfb26bc2f4e0388a633fbd0ccca02 ... View more

Matt, 1:  I would model them as complex.  If you model them as simple and you map you cleanouts, this will split the lateral at that location into two features.  2:  Check your flow direction, you can display flow arrows using a button on the Infrastructure Editing Toolbar or the Utility Network Toolbar.  You can manually set the flow based on digitized direction using a tool on the Infrastructure Editing Toolbar also. 3:  It should be ok to check the data out.  I have not really tried this in a while though.  I have ran into issues with GPS correct and GPS Analyst.  You will have to build a replica GDB, drop the network, check this out for field edits, sync field edits and sync the replica back to the master.  If you are just collecting new information or even trying to move existing, a lot of users find it simplier to capture new data, then inside ArcMap adjust the existing features and copy and paste the new. Let us know if you have any more questions. ... View more
