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
- Create a
UtilityNetworkwith a feature service URL, add it to the map'sutilityNetworkslist, then load it. - Add a
FeatureLayerto the map for everyUtilityNetworkSourceof typeEdgeorJunction. - Create a
GraphicsOverlayfor the utility associations. - Add connection for the
ViewpointChangedsignal of theMapView. - When the sample starts and every time the viewpoint changes, do the following steps.
- Get the geometry of the mapview's extent using
currentViewpointExtent.extent. - Get the associations that are within the current extent using
associationsWithEnvelope(extent). - Get the
UtilityAssociationTypefor each association. - Create a
Graphicusing theGeometryproperty of the association and a preferred symbol. - 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.
