Hello Everyone!

I am trying to rotate some symbols in my Utility Network PRO project (using ESRI template: water distribution network editor) but I can't change the ones that already have numbers.

Example: I want to change the rotation from 119 to 29, calculating on field calculator it runs, but it brings me back the same number (119). (Image attached)

Any help will be very usefull 😃

Regards,

Layane Beatriz Silva Loti

There might be an attribute rule that is resetting it based on the orientation of the line it intersects with.

Hi Paul,

We are awere about the rule attribute, in fact we calculated the rotation for the ones with the value 0 in the attribute table using the numbers that meet the rule criteria.

But how could I edit the ones already populated? Do you know if Is there a way to "turn off" the rule and set to 0 again?

Thank you very much!

You can disable the rule from a GP tool or design view.

Ideally though, if you want to override what the rule is setting, you'd check if there is a value in the field before writing a value to it.

Set the values to null

Hi Michael and Paul,

It worked setting values to 0 and them using the calculate field with the attribute rule enabled.

Other issue is that our fittings are not following the "right" line to rotate, as the tap in our example.

We think this problem might be related to which line the fitting is using as a reference, is that right?

Any ideia how to fix this problem?

Thanks!

The symbol might need to be rotated in the layer. Is it always this way, for every tap?

The symbols are already rotated in this example. Yes, it is always this way for taps.

Then just rotate the symbol in the symbology of the layer

I think I was not clear before, sorry about that. I have tap's in different directions, so If I change the rotation of the symbology, it is applied for all of them.

Thanks!
