How can I place a start location and specify a distance then trace the road network out that distance

[DanBorchers]

Can the Drive time Analysis tool be changed to trace linear distance on the road network and produce a similar polygon

Could you please specify a use case for this in Explorer ?

[DanBorchers]

I have a planning map in ArcExplorer for Engineering. They want to place a starting point on a parcel then trace out in all directions along the street network a specific distance to see how that distance lays out on each street.

This would show them the potential reach of a substation network. For Planning new substations.

Thanks

Thanks for explaining the use case. The measuring tool in Explorer for ArcGIS app is designed for simple use cases, like to measure the length between vertices in a map. With this current implementation, you could not select a starting point and specify a distance to view how it will be on a road network from that point.
