Persisting Network Analysis Route Layer

Hello,

I'm using ArcGIS 10.0.
I'd like to be able to specify the location (path) where to create the route layer, for network analysis, when I click on "Network Analysis -> New Route". Is that possible?
If it is not, how can I have access to the location where the route layer is created?
I'm using the route layer in a task of a geoprocessing service, and I'd like to give to the task the exact location (absolute path) of the route layer.

Could anybody help?

Regards.

Correct Answer

If you only need the Routes sub-layer of a Route Analysis layer then you can use the Select Data tool in a model to access that sub-layer. You can take a look at Exercise 6 of the NA tutorials here:

The route layer is created in memory. You can right-click on it in the ArcMAP TOC and save that layer to disk. Then you can use the saved layer at a future time.

I tried but I can't save the Route which is a group of layers (stops, routes, barriers).
The model I'm trying to publish on the AGS creates the Route and uses the routes layer contained inside the Route.
The problem is that I didn't find the way to add the Route from ArcMap inside the model I'm publishing. The Route is created inside the model with the tool "Make Route Layer".
If there was a way to add into the model the Route that is created in ArcMap, I would save the Route/routes layer to the disk and use it in the model.
I don't know if my explanation is clear.

Thanks. It worked!

Now I need to persist the NA Route Layer in order to improve the processing time of my model.
In fact, I noticed that the Make Route Layer operation takes too much time. I'd like to create the Route Layer one time and then use it each time I need a Roiute Layer, after deleting the routes and the stops it contains.
So I go back to the initial question, is there any way to persist the NA Route Layer? I couldn't find where it is created automatically.
