This document is intended to respond to commonly asked questions received from users of the trace network.  Please contact the trace network space owners to request additional questions to be added to the FAQ. (Last updated July 14, 2021)   What is the trace network, and who is it for? The trace network was released with the ArcGIS Pro 2.6 release in July 2020 and was designed as a path forward for geometric network users who are not utilities or telecoms (those users should move to the utility network). The new network type uses a simple approach to network modeling with the benefits of the updated environment and implementation you find with ArcGIS Pro. The target audiences for the trace network are hydrology (streams), rail, and other disciplines.   Capabilities of the trace network with the ArcGIS Pro 2.6 release include: Tools to migrate directly from a geometric network, or to start from scratch with a new network. Full editing capabilities against the network features including rubberbanding of connected edges. Ability to set flow direction based on the digitized direction of the lines Tracing capabilities based on flow direction for connected, upstream, downstream, and shortest path traces using network attributes (weights). Ability to create network diagrams (schematics) from selected features in the network. File geodatabase support.   The ArcGIS Pro 2.7 release introduced support for enterprise deployments with ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9 as well as named trace configuration capabilities to enable the storage and sharing of complex trace configurations in Pro and through web maps.   How does the trace network differ from the ArcGIS Utility Network? There are many similarities between the trace and utility network; however, key differences in functionality are present due to the different use cases targeted for each dataset.  The below table outlines the key pieces of functionality which differentiate the trace network from the utility network with the ArcGIS Pro 2.7 release:   Plans exist to add the following capabilities in later releases: For the trace network: Connectivity and containment associations For the utility network: Trace by Flow Direction ...

Welcome and thanks for joining the Trace Network GeoNet community Let’s get started!   To begin, we invite you to first review the group features on the overview page and familiarize yourself with the group info, space owners, and GeoNet terms of use.  As you explore the group, you'll also find tools to connect and collaborate. We encourage you to use the Trace Network GeoNet community space to ask/answer questions, share files, and participate in discussions.   We invite you to post a comment below to say "hello" and introduce yourself or share what you are looking forward to working on with this initial release of the trace network. We're excited to connect and collaborate with you and we look forward to seeing your contributions.   - The Geodatabase team ... View more
