Configuring the Network Dataset builder

The Network Dataset builder operates from any network analysis layer containing a performed Route, Closest Facility, Service Area, or Vehicle Routing Problem network analysis. The content of the diagram generated from a same solved network analysis layer can then be different depending on the properties that have been configured on the Network Dataset Builder Properties page.

The steps below focus on the configuration of the Network Dataset Builder Properties page.

• To learn about how to display the schematic Builder Properties page, load the Editing schematic builder properties topic.
• To learn about how to create a schematic diagram template and specify its schematic builder, load the Creating a schematic diagram template topic.

The first time the Network Dataset Builder Properties page displays, the Builder Properties dialog box opens as follows:

The Network Dataset Builder Property Page tab is organized into two sections:

• The Geometry options section concerns the management of the vertices along the schematic feature links that will be created.
• The Miscellaneous section concerns the creation of new schematic feature classes during the diagram generation/update process.

Schritte:

1. Check Initialize links vertices on the Geometry options section if you want the Network Dataset builder to build schematic diagrams in which all the schematic links will display with vertices in the exact same way as those along the associated linear features or network elements.

   When this check box is unchecked, schematic links will be drawn as straight lines between the end points.

2. Check Automatic schematic feature class creation on the Miscellaneous section if you want schematic feature classes related to the feature layers that compose the solved ArcGIS Network Analysis layer from which the Network Dataset builder operates to be automatically created when they are missing.

   When this check box is unchecked, no new schematic feature class is created when the Network Dataset builder operates. This means that if, for the schematic diagram template, there is no schematic feature class associated with a particular feature layer that composes the solved ArcGIS Network Analysis layer on which the diagram generation is based, no schematic features will be included in the generated diagram for the network elements in that particular feature layer.

   Hinweis:

   Since network analysis layers work with a large set of network locations—stops, facilities, incidents, orders, and so on—it is recommended that you keep this box checked (default state) to prevent the generation of diagrams with partial content.
