CAD style Leadlines and Reference lines implementation for Water distribution and District heating companies
Hello hello,
We have a few customer projects underway, where we are moving from the customer's old, grandfather's CAD-based water and sewer distribution, and district heating network information systems to a better and modern Esri's Utility solution. Do you want to share ideas on how to implement leadline and reference lines from familiar in CAD-based systems to pumps, valves, and other network devices in an ArcGIS environment? The same visualization needs to be repeated in all water and District energy utility customers, where we roll over from the CAD system to ArcGIS Enterprise Utility Network as well as Online-based Water Data management solutions.
I wonder if it would make the most sense to start implementing visualization of reference lines with attribute rules by selecting valves, pumps, and others, then drawing the leadline on the map and saving it as geometry at the same time? Visualization of reference lines would probably make the most sense with Arcade. Did you catch the idea and what other ways could we try?
Here is an example of a CAD browser-based as well as a desktop application where reference lines are automatically drawn on a map of various network components such as pumps, valves, and closures.
