Using the Find Related Diagrams command

Schematic features contained in schematic diagrams generated by the Standard, or ArcGIS Network Analyst, builders are always generated from geographic features. At any time, ArcGIS Schematics is able to identify the geographic feature associated with each schematic feature contained in these diagrams.

The Find Related Diagram command allows you to search for all diagrams—stored in a given schematic dataset—that contain schematic features associated with a geographic feature or set of geographic features currently selected in the map, or with the schematic features currently selected in the active schematic diagram.

Hinweis:

This command is available only if schematic features are currently selected in the active diagram or if geographic features are selected in the map.

This command is useful in several cases:

• When geographic features' status has changed and you want to reflect these changes in all schematic diagrams that contain schematic features associated with those features
• When you want to retrieve all generated schematic diagrams that contain a particular set of schematic features whether these diagrams are contained in the same schematic dataset or not

Hinweis:

This command may also work for diagrams based on the XML builder when the schematic features contained in these diagrams are associated with GIS features/objects.

Schritte:

1. Create a selection set in a schematic diagram or in the map that contains GIS features.
2. Click the Schematic drop-down arrow on the Schematic toolbar and point to Find Related Diagrams.

   The Find Related Diagrams dialog box opens:

3. Choose the schematic dataset in which you want to execute the search from the Schematic Dataset drop-down list. All the schematic datasets stored in the geodatabase or geodatabases from which features are currently displayed in the MXD file are contained in this list.

   • If diagrams are already open, all the schematic datasets related to those open diagrams are also available in this list, and the schematic dataset selected by default is the one related to the active diagram.
   • If no diagrams are open, no schematic dataset is selected by default among those available in the list.

4. If no schematic dataset is selected by default or none of the referenced schematic datasets correspond to the one in which you want to execute the search, click the Browse button at the right, . The Select schematic dataset dialog box opens; select and browse to the desired schematic dataset and click Add.
5. Click Find to execute the search in the specified schematic dataset.

   When the active data frame contains selected features, the search operates from those selected features. If the active data frame doesn't contain selected features, the search works from the schematic features currently selected in the active diagram (whether that active diagram is in the active data frame or in any inactive data frame).

   Hinweis:

   The Find button is unavailable when no schematic dataset is selected in the Schematic Dataset drop-down list.

   When the search operation ends, there are two possible configurations:

   • Case 1: No schematic diagrams are found.

     In this case, a message appears to inform users.

   • Case 2: Schematic Diagrams are found.

     In this case, the detected diagrams are displayed in the Select Schematic Diagram(s) To Open area. This area is organized as a table with three columns:

     • Name column: Shows the name of each detected diagram
     • Schematic Folder column: Shows the schematic folder where each detected diagram is stored
     • Schematic Diagram Template column: Shows the name of the schematic diagram template related to each detected diagram
     The screenshot below shows how the Find Related Diagrams dialog box appears at the end of the search in case 2.
     Tipp:

     • Clicking a column heading causes the entire table content to be sorted according to that column content arranged in alphanumerical order (or in reverse alphanumeric order)
     • To open one or several detected diagrams, click the desired diagram name from the Select Schematic Diagram(s) To Open area and click OK.
     • Clicking a diagram name in this area causes its entry to be displayed in bold. Clicking the diagram name in the list again causes the diagram to be unselected and its entry to return to its initial state.
