Learn more about the Export Map pane<\/a><\/p>\n To share your network diagram work as a printed map, or poster, it is recommended that you make a page layout. Any diagram map you create or open as a standard map can be added to a page layout. To create a new page layout, click the Insert<\/strong> tab and select a paper size from the New Layout<\/strong> gallery. Next, create a map frame in this page layout for an open diagram map view by selecting this map view in the Map Frame<\/strong> list. Then click and drag on the layout page to create the map frame. To refine and enrich your page layout, you can then adjust the map frame size, add a legend, and so on. When you are ready to export, click the Share<\/strong> tab and click Export Layout <\/strong>to open the Export Layout <\/strong>pane. Select the File Type<\/strong> format for the exported active page layout, adjust parameters, and click Export<\/strong> at the bottom of the pane.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2544242,"id":2544242,"title":"Using the Export Layout command to export

You can export network diagrams to JSON files\u00a0 with the Export Diagram Content geoprocessing tool<\/a>. You can also develop a Python script or an ArcGIS Pro add-in command to export network diagram contents into feature classes.<\/p>\n The Export Diagram Content geoprocessing tool allows you to export network diagram content as a simple-format JSON file that details all the features referenced in your network diagram. The resulting JSON file can then be used for various purposes, such as data control, calculation, or analysis. It can also be used as input for external systems.<\/p>\n The export operation can be configured to export the following information:<\/p>\n When exporting attributes or aggregations, you can optionally export coded domain and subtype values as string descriptions rather than raw values for any exported attributes with coded domain values.<\/p>\n Learn more about the Export Diagram Content output JSON file<\/a><\/p>\n The diagram feature classes are private and cannot be easily accessed and queried by users. However, with ArcGIS Pro SDK for .NET API<\/a> or ArcGIS API for Python<\/a>, you can develop custom code to export your network diagrams to feature classes.<\/p>\n Using Network Diagrams ArcGIS Pro SDK for .NET API<\/a>, you can develop a custom ArcGIS Pro add-in command to export network diagram contents to feature classes. You can download such an add-in command code sample from the ArcGIS Pro SDK Community Samples GitHub repository. This generic code sample called ExportDiagramToFeatureClasses<\/a> performs any network diagram related to any utility or trace network dataset. It applies to any network diagram present in an active diagram map and exports its content into a set of feature classes in a feature dataset in a local geodatabase (File or Mobile). The output feature dataset can then be added to a map, shared with others, and so on. This add-in also allows you to export the diagram aggregations into a specific table in the output geodatabase, and it allows you to add the resulting exported features to a new empty map under feature layers built with the same layer properties as under the original network diagram layer.<\/p>\n To export network diagram contents to feature classes, you can also code and run a Python script.<\/p>\n The sample Python script code below shows how you can export any stored diagram related to a given utility network or trace network into an output geodatabase. In the specified output geodatabase, it creates a feature dataset with a name corresponding to the diagram name to export. Then, it runs the MakeDiagramLayer command to export the stored diagram as a group layer with its related sublayers. Then, it loops on each sublayer to retain only CIMFeatureLayers and bypass all CIMSubtypeGroupLayers. At the end, it converts\u00a0 all the retrieved CIMFeatureLayers to geodatabase feature classes in the feature dataset that was created in the output geodatabase.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" NOTE:<\/strong> The Python script above is compatible with ArcGIS Pro 3.4 and later, in which the MakeDiagramLayer command supports the new sublayers_option parameter.<\/p>\n You can now export your network diagrams in various ways and thus share your network diagram work with others, whether internal or external to your organization.<\/p>\n"}],"authors":[{"ID":10302,"user_firstname":"Anne-Yvonne","user_lastname":"Blin","nickname":"Anne-Yvonne Blin","user_nicename":"ablin","display_name":"Network Diagrams Team","user_email":"ABlin@esri.com","user_url":"","user_registered":"2019-12-10 18:19:08","user_description":"The Network Diagrams Team blogs about network diagram topics. #UtilityNetwork #TraceNetwork #EsriElectric #EsriGas","user_avatar":"Export page layouts with added diagram maps<\/h3>\n
