Create graphics for utility associations in a utility network.

Use case

Visualizing utility associations can help you to better understand trace results and the topology of your utility network. For example, connectivity associations allow you to model connectivity between two junctions that don't have geometric coincidence (are not in the same location); structural attachment associations allow you to model equipment that may be attached to structures; and containment associations allow you to model features contained within other features.

How to use the sample

Pan and zoom around the map. Observe graphics that show utility associations between junctions.

How it works

  1. Create a UtilityNetwork with a feature service URL, add it to the map's utilityNetworks list, then load it.
  2. Add a FeatureLayer to the map for every UtilityNetworkSource of type Edge or Junction.
  3. Create a GraphicsOverlay for the utility associations.
  4. Add connection for the ViewpointChanged signal of the MapView.
  5. When the sample starts and every time the viewpoint changes, do the following steps.
  6. Get the geometry of the mapview's extent using currentViewpoint(ViewpointType::BoundingGeometry).targetGeometry.extent.
  7. Get the associations that are within the current extent using associations(extent).
  8. Get the UtilityAssociationType for each association.
  9. Create a Graphic using the Geometry property of the association and a preferred symbol.
  10. Add the graphic to the graphics overlay.

About the data

The Naperville electrical network feature service, hosted on ArcGIS Online (authentication required: this is handled within the sample code), contains a utility network used to run the subnetwork-based trace in this sample.

Additional information

Using utility network on ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8 requires an ArcGIS Enterprise member account licensed with the Utility Network user type extension. Please refer to the utility network services documentation.
